Description

A tracheostomy tube is a medical device inserted into the trachea (windpipe) through a surgical opening in the neck called a tracheostomy or stoma. It's used to maintain an open airway and facilitate breathing in patients who require long-term mechanical ventilation or have upper airway obstructions. Tracheostomy tubes come in various sizes and designs, including cuffed and uncuffed versions, to accommodate different patient needs. They may feature additional components such as inner cannulas for easy cleaning and fenestrations to allow airflow through the vocal cords for speech. Tracheostomy tubes play a crucial role in airway management for patients with respiratory conditions or those undergoing surgery involving the head, neck, or airway.
