Improving Resident Self-Efficacy in Tracheostomy Management Using a Novel Curriculum.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Patients receiving pediatric tracheostomy have significant risk for mortality due to compromised airway. Timely management of airway emergencies in children with tracheostomies is an important clinical skill for pediatricians.
