A tracheostomy surgery is a small surgical opening made in the front of your neck to create a direct airway into the windpipe (trachea). It helps people breathe when their usual airway is blocked or not working properly. A tube is placed in this opening to keep it open, allowing air to flow freely to the lungs.

Why is a Tracheostomy Performed?

A tracheostomy surgery is performed when breathing becomes difficult due to blockages or medical conditions. It ensures that oxygen reaches the lungs efficiently, preventing serious complications like respiratory failure.

Who Needs a Tracheostomy? / Indications

A tracheostomy may be recommended in the following situations:

• Severe airway obstruction from swelling, tumors, or trauma.

• Long-term ventilator support for critically ill patients.

• Neurological conditions that affect breathing or swallowing.

• Chronic lung diseases causing breathing difficulties.

• Emergency situations to save life during severe throat infections or injuries.

Potential Benefits of a Tracheostomy

• Makes breathing easier for patients with blocked airways.

• Reduces the risk of lung infections from prolonged intubation.

• Allows patients to eat and speak more comfortably in some cases.

• Helps in long-term respiratory support for critical patients.

Potential Risks of a Tracheostomy

While generally safe, some risks include:

• Bleeding or infection at the surgery site.

• Temporary difficulty speaking.

• Rare complications like tracheal injury or narrowing of the airway.

Symptoms Indicating You May Need a Tracheostomy
