Cuffed vs. Uncuffed Tracheostomy Tube. What is the Difference?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- A tracheostomy tube is an artificial airway which bypasses a person’s upper airway. The tracheostomy tube is inserted directly into the trachea via a surgically created hole called a stoma.
Tracheostomy tubes can be made from several different types of materials and can come in various styles. One key feature which differentiates tracheostomy tubes into two distinct groups is the presence or absence of a balloon-like structure called a cuff. Join me this week as I discuss the difference between cuffed and uncuffed tracheostomy tubes. #lifewithavent #tracheostomy

My mom will be having this surgery soon this week... thank you for your informative videos. This whole process is scary to me. She has been in ICU for over a month with other medical conditions.
Thank you for sharing some of your story with me. I hope everything goes well for your mom. All my best to you and your mom.
Hi again, my father decided on getting a trach after much resistance. He is scheduled to get a trach tomorrow. He needs a trach because he is unable to clear secretions and has chronic aspiration. If can breathe on his own is better to use uncuff trach so he can breathe using nose and mouth
Thanks
Hello. The first tracheostomy tube your father will get will most likely be a cuffed tracheostomy tube. (If you ask your father's doctor, they will be able to tell you which tracheostomy tube they used.) Usually, about a month after surgery is when the first tracheostomy tube is replaced. You will want to ask your father's doctor which trach tube is best for him.
As a general rule, cuffed tracheostomy tubes are only used for people who use a ventilator. Uncuffed trach tubes are used for most other people.
I hope everything goes well tomorrow. All my best to you and your father.
Thank you so much for responding.
@@xluluxlollipopsx67 How is your father doing?
@Life with a Vent Hi, I hope your year is going well. I didn't respond earlier because I wanted to only share something positive. After the procedure, my father was really down. I felt like it may have been the wrong decision, but I'm happy to report that his mood is slowly improving, and he even admitted the trach helps his condition. He was very against the trach because he has to manage various health concerns, so I didn't want to add another, but I am glad to report it was the right decision. Thank you for your videos and responding it helped during a very stressful time. Blessings to you.
Thanks mam
Thanks!
you're amazing
Thank you.
