A Tracheostomy is an opening made by an incision that is created at the front of the neck into the trachea (windpipe) to help you breathe. It opens the airways and if necessary, can be connected to an oxygen supply and ventilator. A tracheostomy can either be temporary or permanent depending on the condition and may be done in an emergency, in an operating room or at a patient’s bedside.
