Tracheostomy care involves specialized medical support for individuals with a tracheostomy tube, ensuring proper breathing and hygiene. It includes regular cleaning and suctioning to prevent infections and blockages. Caregivers monitor for complications such as redness, swelling, or difficulty breathing. Humidification and hydration are essential to keep the airway moist and comfortable. Proper dressing changes help prevent skin irritation and infections. Patients receive guidance on speaking and eating safely with a tracheostomy. Emergency protocols are in place to handle tube dislodgement or blockages. Professional nurses or trained caregivers assist with routine maintenance. The goal is to enhance comfort, reduce complications, and promote overall well-being. Personalized care plans are designed based on the patient’s medical condition and needs.
