The investigators propose to examine the feasibility and safety of immediate (single stage) decannulation in adult patients in a controlled randomized trial. Patients who will be found fit for decannulation after an otolaryngologist and intensive care specialist assessment will be randomized into two groups: immediate decannulation and gradual decrease in cannula size. Both groups of patients will be monitored after decannulation and in the outpatient clinic for any complications following the procedure.
