Understanding Tracheostomy
A tracheostomy may be temporary or permanent, depending on the patient’s medical condition. Common reasons for a tracheostomy include:
- Prolonged Ventilation: Patients who require long-term mechanical ventilation.
- Airway Obstruction: Conditions like tumors, trauma, or severe infections.
- Neurological Conditions: Diseases that affect the ability to breathe independently, such as ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) or spinal cord injuries.
- 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.
