Brief Summary

In this pilot observational study the primary outcome is to assess, in a Respiratory Rehabilitation Unit, if there is an association between sarcopenia, assessed by handgrip strenght and BIA, and a delayed decannulation time in patients who underwent tracheostomy. Secondary outcomes are to assess if there is an association between an increased malnutrition risk (assessed by MUST), a poor nutritional status (assessed by GLIM criteria) and a delayed decannulation time and the gut microbiota composition.
