Tracheostomy Tubes

Description

What is a Tracheostomy Tube?

A tracheostomy tube is a medical device inserted into a patient’s trachea to facilitate breathing. It is usually employed when there’s an obstruction in the airway or when long-term ventilation is necessary.

Benefits of Using a Tracheostomy Tube

Tracheostomy tubes provide multiple benefits, including improved lung airflow and reduced airway resistance. Additionally, they enhance secretion clearance and minimize the risk of airway complications.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance of a tracheostomy tube are crucial for patient safety. Regular cleaning and monitoring for blockages ensure optimal function and reduce the risk of infections, promoting a smoother recovery process.
