The tracheostomy involves the surgical opening of the trachea and the placement of a special tube (tracheostomy tube) for ventilating the patient, bypassing the upper respiratory tract. Patients who may require a tracheostomy include individuals with upper airway abnormalities, injuries, severe allergies, or infections.

Helpful Tips:

• The incision should be cleaned with sterile saline if soiled. A clean new dressing should be used if necessary.
• Avoid cutting gauze for safety reasons.
• A dressing is necessary for the first 24 hours after the procedure or in case of discharge flow.
• If the strap is soiled, it should be changed for a new one while holding the tracheostomy tube securely.
• The strap should be properly adjusted to allow one finger's width.
