What is Tracheostomy Care? A tracheostomy is a surgically created opening in the neck that allows air to enter the windpipe and lungs. Tracheostomy care involves maintaining this airway, preventing infections, and ensuring the proper function of any associated equipment. This care is essential for clients who may rely on a tracheostomy for breathing due to medical conditions or emergencies.

- Daily Tracheostomy Maintenance: Cleaning the tracheostomy site, replacing dressings, and ensuring the tube remains clear and functional.
- Suctioning Management: Performing suctioning to remove mucus or secretions and maintain a clear airway.
- Ventilator Management: Supporting clients who use ventilators, ensuring the equipment is properly maintained and functions effectively.
- Skin and Site Monitoring: Regularly checking for signs of irritation, infection, or other complications around the tracheostomy site.
