Tracheostomy

Tracheostomy Treatment Hospital in Begur

A tracheostomy is a surgically created hole in the front of the neck that leads to the trachea, or windpipe in the tracheostomy treatment hospital in Begur. A breathing tube is then inserted through the opening to assist in breathing. A tracheostomy is used to aid patients who require ventilators for more than a few weeks or have upper airway concerns. The surgeon makes an incision through the lower front section of the neck and then into the windpipe. Stitches, surgical tape, or a velcro band are used to keep the tracheostomy tube in place once it has been inserted and put in the windpipe. When the patient no longer requires it, the breathing tube is removed. The hole cures naturally, however surgery is done if necessary.
