| dc.description.abstract | Tracheostomy is the creation of an opening in the trachea through the neck to facilitate the passage of air. A temporary tracheostomy, where a nonreactive tube is inserted into the trachea, can be performed to provide an alternate route for air during surgery or as an emergency measure in patients with a severe difficulty to breath. The tube must be secured by suturing it to the skin. After a tube tracheostomy the patient must be observed closely to prevent tube obstruction or dislodgement. If the trachea is irritated, increased mucous production may occur and the tube may require cleaning. | en |
