Because of various possible problems tracheotomy in children should be performed only in urgent cases and should be sewed up as soon as possible. Early language therapy and the use of cannulas with speaking device promote language development. We propose a special silver cannula with speaking device for children with oxygen dependence due to bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
