According to the reporter, during the change of tracheostomy tube, the insertion was very painful due to the thick and rigid material.It was also stated that the device needed more pressure to be applied which may also be the reason of the problem.The patient was re-intubated.After a third attempt to introduce the 3rd cannula, a cannula of a different lot number was used without issue.In subsequent insertion of 2 cannulas of the reported lot number, the painfulness and suffocation status were repeated.Also, by checking and by touch control she could feel the difference of the material.The patient has had a permanent tracheostomy for more than 2 years that requires very often changes of tubes.The usage of the tracheostomy tubes is on a regular basis.
