Bleeding, obstruction, displacement. These are just some of the complications that can occur when managing a patient with a tracheostomy.
Some Background
A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure in which a small opening, called a stoma, is created in the front of the neck to provide direct access to the trachea (windpipe). This surgical opening allows for the insertion of a tube called a tracheostomy tube or trach tube. The tracheostomy tube facilitates breathing by providing an alternative airway route, bypassing the upper airway, including the nose and mouth.
