A tracheostomy is an opening (made by an incision) through the neck into the trachea (windpipe). A tracheostomy opens the airway and aids breathing.
A tracheostomy may be done in an emergency, at the patient’s bedside or in an operating room. Anesthesia (pain relief medication) may be used before the procedure. Depending on the person’s condition, the tracheostomy may be temporary or permanent.
Indications
Audible rattling sounds or visible secretions in the tube
Decreased breath sounds on chest auscultation
Increasing respiratory effort or distress
Suspicion of blocked or partially blocked tracheostomy tube
patient requests suction
Consider suction prior to tracheostomy tube change, tape change, feeding, speaking valve use or after vomiting
How does a tracheostomy tube work?
When you breathe, you take in oxygen through your nose or mouth and it travels down the trachea into your lungs. The hairs in the nose help to filter particles and warm and humidify the air before it reaches the lungs.
When a tracheostomy tube is inserted, it becomes the main point for air to enter the respiratory system. In some children, a small amount of air may also be able to pass through the nose and mouth and go around the tracheostomy tube to get to the lungs.
