What is a Tracheostomy
Tracheostomy is a hole that surgeons make through the front of the neck and into the windpipe (trachea). A tracheostomy tube is placed into the hole to keep it open for breathing. The term for the surgical procedure to create this opening is tracheotomy.A tracheostomy provides an air passage to help you breathe when the usual route for breathing is somehow blocked or reduced. A tracheostomy is often needed when health problems require long-term use of a machine (ventilator) to help you breathe. In rare cases, an emergency tracheotomy is performed when the airway is suddenly blocked, such as after a traumatic injury to the face or neck.When a tracheostomy is no longer needed, it's allowed to heal shut or is surgically closed. For some people, a tracheostomy is permanent.

What is a Tracheostomy Tube
A tracheostomy tube is an artificial airway that is surgically placed directly into the trachea through an opening in the throat. It bypasses the upper airway as a means to establish a connection for breathing.

A tracheostomy is often performed when a patient is unable to tolerate intubation or if they are in need of long-term ventilatory support.

After a tracheostomy tube has been inserted, it is the responsibility of the respiratory therapist to maintain the tube in place and keep the incision site clean.
