What is a tracheostomy tie?
tracheostomy is a hole in the throat of a person that is created by tracheotomy. This surgery is performed when a person is unable to breathe normally and instead breathes tracheostomy, because the upper part of its airways is blocked. Once the hole is made, it must be kept artificially open, usually with a piece of equipment known as the tube of tracheostomy, often shortened to simply "trach tube". This tube is in place by binding made of fabric or other material that wrapped around the person's neck and is safely tied to hold the tube in place.
TRACH tube usually has four openings at the front, either one or two on each side of the neck surrounding the central hole to keep the device firmly in place. In each hole there is a tracheostomy tie and securely attaches, usually with a square node or other node that cannot be easily returned. The links are brought to the back of the person's neck and tied sufficiently at the point if the tube is stable,But he remained sufficiently relaxed to keep his finger sliding under each tie.
It is quite common for a tracheostomy tie will be made of a Kenya, cotton laces or other type of soft fabric. The problem with such materials is that they can capture moisture, resulting in skin irritation, rashes and other related problems. Changing Tracheostomy bonds daily can help minimize this type of skin problem, as well as the use of bonds made from other materials that do not capture so much moisture.
Tracheostomy tie can be made of soft wide strap, which is attached by Velcro. This type of tracheostomy bond does not necessarily have to be suitable for children, as it can be able to release or remove it completely, but for elderly patients can significantly simplify the process of changing links. In many cases it may be repeatedly usable tracheostomicKa tie Velcro® tracheostomes, but usually not once or twice, because such ties are often produced on disposable materials.
In addition to traditional bonds, the tracks are another method for holding the tracks tube. It is similar to tracheostomic ties and serves the same purpose, but is wider and tends to fit more like a collar than a piece of string around the neck. They are usually washable and reusable, although they are not intended for long -term use and come in different sizes to provide the most comfortable adaptation. The purpose of these collars is to minimize the neck irritation, which would make life as comfortable as possible for a person who has tracheostomy.
