title: [A device for tracheostomized children in home care].
abstract: Tracheomized children with deglutition disturbance require frequent suction--a procedure that may present problems for parents and other home-caregivers. We introduced a suction pump to drain the thoracic cavity continuously. This reduced the number of times of suction was required and raised no problems.
