The first speaker, Dr. Tessie Oktober, focused on the decision-making process around tracheostomies and highlighted the challenges faced by families in making this decision. She discussed the importance of providing families with accurate information about the risks and benefits of tracheostomies and addressing their concerns and emotional needs.
