What is the role of the endotracheal tube in tracheotomy

A tracheotomy tube can prevent tracheal displacement and improve ventilation.
The tracheotomy tube is a special tracheal tube that is inserted after cutting the cervical trachea and fixed during tracheal intubation, so that the tracheal gap can be closed, thus preventing the trachea from being displaced. Moreover, a closed space is formed to ensure airflow in and out of the tracheal tube, thus improving ventilation.
Tracheotomy endotracheal tubes are mainly used for respiratory pathologies, such as obstruction of the lower respiratory tract with secretions, laryngeal obstruction, anesthesia surgeries, and respiratory failure due to various reasons.
After tracheotomy endotracheal tube surgery, patients need to pay attention to regular disinfection of the endotracheal tube, tube replacement, etc., and go to the hospital in time for detailed examination and cooperation with the treatment when symptoms of discomfort occur.
