Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The importance of lung disease has grown with the emergence of COVID-19. Even beyond the context of the pandemic, however, it is widely hypothesized that the mortality rate of COPD patients will be the third highest in the world by 2030. Similarly dismal predictions are being made about lung disease and lung cancer patients. As such, in this Special Issue, we will focus on new nutritional approaches to lung cancer, COPD, and aspiration pneumonia, paying attention not only to conventional treatments but also to treatment methods using nutrients, case reports on lung diseases, and the causes of lung diseases. In addition, especially for lung cancer, we would like to ask you to focus not only on lung cancer per se but also on new storage alternative therapies for cancer in general, incorporating content that will lead to the treatment of lung cancer.

Guest Editor

During the COVID-19 pandemic, percutaneous tracheostomy proved to be an effective option in the management of patients with prolonged periods of intubation. In fact, among other things, it allowed early discharge from ICUs and contributed to reducing overcrowding in intensive care settings, a central and critical point in the COVID pandemic. As a direct consequence, the management and the weaning of frail, tracheostomized and ventilated patients was diverted to sub-intensive or normal hospitalization wards. One central challenge in this setting is the resumption of swallowing and oral feeding, which require interdisciplinary management involving a phoniatrician, ENT, pneumologist, and speech therapist. With this article, we aim to share the experience of a Swiss COVID-19 Center and to draw up a narrative review on the issues concerning the management of the tracheostomy cannula during swallowing resumption, integrating the most recent evidence from the literature with the clinical experiences of the professionals directly involved in the management of tracheostomized COVID-19 patients. In view of the heterogeneity of COVID-19 patients, we believe that the procedures described in the article are applicable to a larger population of patients undergoing tracheostomy weaning.
