        Is this the 1st TT change?
        
        What's the reason for the change?
        
        What tube does the pt have?

        -Asking these questions bc:
        
        Trying to anticipate how difficult TT change is going to be (eg Perc - hole is tighter, holes sometimes dont line up with each other)
        
        How established the trach is
        
        To ensure we’re not doing this in the restricted time frames
        
        Timeframes:
        A) Perc trach = 7 days after
        B) Surgical = 72 hrs after
        C) Routine Trach change = 28 days or 4 weeks
