Family-centered care can be illustrated with the following case:
Adam, age 5, was referred for a tracheostomy due to chronic lung disease, vocal cord paralysis, and recurrent aspiration. After Adam underwent surgery, the tracheostomy tube dislodged 3 times during the first night post-op. After the third dislodging, the tube was sutured in place at the bedside. The suturing caused Adam considerable pain. When the tube dislodged yet again, the surgeon and the parents had a team meeting to discuss possible options. The father suggested to the surgeon that he would hold the tube in place himself and keep Adam calm. After some discussion, the surgeon agreed to place the tracheostomy again. Adam’s father held the tube in place for 72 h, and the tracheostomy tube successfully held.
