A tracheostomy is a life-saving procedure that redirects the airway from the nose and mouth to a surgically created opening. Used most often when something is blocking the airway, doctors will perform a tracheostomy when a patient’s life is in danger. There are many different parts to a tracheal device, including the trach tube, cannula, tube holder, and ventilator, that must all be taken care of properly to avoid infection.
