A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an opening in the neck and inserts a tube into the trachea (windpipe). This tube allows a person to breathe when they cannot do so on their own due to an underlying medical condition. Tracheostomy care involves managing the tracheostomy tube, keeping the airway clean, and preventing complications.
