Understanding Tracheostomy

A tracheostomy may be temporary or permanent, depending on the patient’s medical condition. Common reasons for a tracheostomy include:

1. Prolonged Ventilation: Patients who require long-term mechanical ventilation.
2. Airway Obstruction: Conditions like tumors, trauma, or severe infections.
3. Neurological Conditions: Diseases that affect the ability to breathe independently, such as ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) or spinal cord injuries.
4. Severe Respiratory Issues: Chronic conditions like COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) or severe asthma.

Living with a tracheostomy involves continuous care and monitoring, which can be challenging for patients and their families. Professional tracheostomy care at home ensures safety, reduces complications, and improves the quality of life.
