Tracheostomy status - what does this mean
Tracheostomy status is a medical condition caused by the presence of a tracheostomy tube in the trachea. it is a surgical procedure in which an opening is made in the neck and a tube is inserted into the trachea (windpipe) to provide an airway and allow for breathing. complications can arise from the presence of the tube, including infection, irritation, and blockage of the airway.
What happens during the disease - tracheostomy status
Tracheostomy status is a condition in which there is a permanent opening in the trachea (windpipe) that is created surgically. this opening provides an alternative airway for a patient who is unable to use their natural airway due to obstruction or inability to protect their airway. the obstruction or inability to protect the airway can be due to a variety of causes, including trauma, infection, tumors, congenital defects, and neurological disorders. the tracheostomy tube is inserted through the opening to allow the patient to breathe and to allow suctioning of secretions.
