The intervention targets patients experiencing critical respiratory events including blue spells, BRUEs requiring CPR, and ventilator dependence.

Key takeaways

  • Severe TBM in EA patients causes life-threatening events including blue spells, BRUEs requiring CPR, and ventilator dependence.
  • Tracheostomy has traditionally been required for EA patients with severe TBM and ventilator dependence.
  • Tracheobronchopexy offers a surgical alternative to tracheostomy in managing severe life-threatening TBM in EA patients.
  • EA is commonly associated with TBM, which can range from mild to severe life-threatening forms requiring intervention.
