Chronic Tracheotomy Care
Chronic tracheotomy care means taking ongoing medical steps to maintain a tracheostomy tube and the hole in the neck (stoma) it goes into.
Chronic tracheotomy care aims to optimize respiratory function.
This specialized care involves regular assessment and management of the tracheostomy tube, the stoma (the opening in the neck leading to the trachea), and the surrounding skin. It includes tasks such as cleaning and suctioning the airway, ensuring proper tube placement and securement, monitoring for signs of infection or complications, and providing education and support to the patient and caregivers regarding tracheotomy care techniques and emergency procedures.
Our team of experienced healthcare professionals is dedicated to helping you overcome your symptoms and regain your health.
