Keywords:

Objective: Upper airway obstruction is a life-threatening condition in Phatumthani Hospital. A portion of patients with upper airway obstruction need to get the emergency care of tracheostomy. This study aims to study age, sex, risk factors, and causes of patients who came with stridor and received emergency awakening tracheostomy in Pathumthani Hospital.
Methods: Retrospective descriptive study was done in consecutive series of patients underwent emergency tracheostomy from October 2019 to September 2022.
Results: A total of 105 patients were included in this study. Men were founded more than women, age ranged from 41–60 years. Oropharyngeal carcinomas were the most common cause (29.5 percent). All patients of this group had undergone tracheostomy with average operation time of 43 minutes included further operations such as biopsy or esophagoscopy. Average time admitted in the hospital was 7 days due to post operative self-care instructions and patients’ self-condition adjustment.
Conclusion: Numbers of patients who received emergency awakening tracheostomy were approximatly equal every year. Most common cause of patients who came with stridor and received emergency awakening tracheostomy is head and neck carcinoma. Health promotions to communities are crucial to prevent morbidities.
