A tracheotomy is a surgical procedure where a cut is made in the neck to create a direct airway to the trachea, commonly known as the windpipe. This procedure is typically performed in emergency situations when there is a blockage in the upper airway or serious breathing difficulties that cannot be managed with other methods. During a tracheotomy, a tube is inserted into the opening to keep an open airway, allowing oxygen to reach the lungs directly. This helps patients breathe more easily and can be temporary or permanent depending on the underlying condition. Recovery from a tracheotomy involves careful monitoring and often requires ongoing care to prevent infections and ensure the tube functions properly.
