General information on tracheostomy:

A tracheostomy tube is a special tube placed after the trachea is opened (tracheostomy) to ventilate the patient, bypassing the upper airway. The reasons that may require it vary. Tracheostomy can be performed urgently in any setting, such as in the case of acute airway obstruction, or scheduled in the operating room, which is more common. Tracheostomy can be temporary or permanent.

Indications for tracheostomy:

• Obstruction of the upper airway.
• Severe laryngeal trauma.
• Radical operations of the thyroid or pharynx.
• Patients requiring prolonged respiratory support.
