摘要

•Obesity is associated with tracheostomy-associated complications.•Unplanned dislodgement or decannulation (DD) can be a life-threatening complication.•Skin-to-trachea distance (STT) strongly correlated with body mass index (BMI).•STT ≥80 mm was a better predictor of unplanned DD than BMI.•Measuring STT prior to tracheostomy may identify high risk patients for unplanned DD.
