What is Tracheostomy?
A tracheostomy is an opening (made by an incision) through the neck into the trachea (windpipe). A tracheostomy opens the airway and aids breathing. A tracheostomy may be done in an emergency, at the patients bedside or in an operating room. Anesthesia (pain relief medication) may be used before the procedure. Depending on the persons condition, the tracheostomy may be temporary or permanent.
