Tracheostomy or trach is a minor throat surgery into the trachea below the larynx. In this surgical procedure, the surgeon creates a small opening in the throat to deliver oxygen to the lungs safely and efficiently. However, the trach tube and the area around the tube require proper care and treatment to prevent clogging and decrease the risk of infection. At ASA HEALTHCARE, we provide the most beneficial trach care program, which includes cleaning parts and suction of the tube and the skin around the pipe. Our team of experts offers the best remedies to clean your trach tube and prevent different issues. Our professional will help you to know the different ways of handling your pipe and improve your overall body functioning. You can also have help from our healthcare center to get proper care strategies at home.
