[VENT-L] trach changes

[Mark Boatman]

My trach has been changed every 12 weeks since I got
the trach in 2/03.  I started developing infections
after the 6 week mark so I requested more frequent
changes.  After much arm twisting my doc agreed to
change it every 6 weeks.  But he warned me that
changing the trach more often could bring infections. 
If this happens he said the changes would go back to
every 12 weeks.  I just wanted input on this from you
all.
