Summary

The over all goal of this observational study is to study if there is an association between the presence of feeding difficulties and self-assessed quality of life in children with tracheal cannula. The main questions it aims to answer are 1. What is the incidence of feeding difficulties in children with tracheostomy and what type of feeding difficulties affect these children? 2. How do children with a tracheal tube and their parents assess their quality of life measured through PedsQL? 3. Is there an association between the presence of feeding difficulties and self-assessed quality of life in children with tracheal cannula? Quality of life will be assessed in an interview using the PedsQL instrument generic module 4.0. Swallowing difficulties will be assessed through evaluations based on The Montreal Children's Hospital Feeding Scale.
