🫁Tracheostomies Made Simple🫁

👉What is it? Surgically created opening in the trachea to secure an AIRWAY and promote oxygenation.

👉Why is it needed? Upper airway obstruction, acute respiratory failure, prolonged mechanical ventilation, lung cancer, or trauma.

⚠️ NCLEX Tip: Trach Care is considered a STERILE procedure due to ⬆️ Infection Risk

⚠️ NCLEX Tip: Always hyperoxygenate client prior to suctioning a client with a trach

👉What are the types of Trachs?

💨 Double Lumen: this type has a outer cannula, inner cannula, and obturator

💨 Single Lumen: same as double lumen, except no inner cannula

💨 Fenestrated Tube: precut opening in outer cannula for clients that can PARTIALLY BREATHE on their own and allows the client to SPEAK. 🗣

💨 Cuffed Fenestrated Tube: facilitates mechnical ventilation and speech for those with spinal cord injuries or disorders.

⚠️ NCLEX Tip: Suction only as needed. Suctioning too frequently or on a schedule may lead to secretion buildup or tissue damage.

❤️ Thanks for tuning in! I know it is getting to Exam Midterms! Give it your all and remember this time is temporary! XO Amanda
