Hi nice to meet you,
Gary has his trache changed sp infrequently due to frequent pneumonias within 24 - 48 after tracjh changes.
They do not alays occur but have more often than not. So the docs decided to change it eve y 3-5 months to reduce the risks of infection.
He just got a Portex trache yesterday at the the hospital.
But as his are changed so infrequently they could have been on back order without us knowing. at some point. Lisa
