Tracheostomy Care

Tracheostomy care is a specialized nursing service focused on maintaining a clear airway, preventing infections, and ensuring the safe management of a tracheostomy tube. Proper tracheostomy care is essential for patients who depend on a tracheostomy for breathing support and require continuous monitoring at home. Effective tracheostomy care includes daily cleaning of the tracheostomy site, suctioning of secretions, tube care, and close observation for signs of infection or breathing difficulty.
