Tracheostomy Care: What to Know
Tracheostomy is the process of creating a small surgical opening in a part of your throat called trachea or the windpipe in common terminology. A specially designed tube, generally known as a trach, is placed into this opening to enable a person to breathe easily.
It helps to keep the airway open to help with oxygen supply, breathing treatments, and to regularly help with the cleaning of mucous accumulated. For some people who have extreme breathing troubles, a ventilator is attached to this tube to make breathing easier.
