It covers how a tracheostomy tube is placed and how to choose the right tube.
Most of the session focuses on nursing care: monitoring for occlusion and dislodgement, humidification, cleaning the tube and stoma, tracheal suction and the complications to watch for. It finishes with two alternatives to a tracheostomy, retrograde intubation and the pharyngostomy tube.
