trakeostomialaitteet
Trakeostomialaitteet, commonly known as tracheostomy tubes or shunts, are medical devices inserted into a tracheostomy, a surgical opening in the neck that leads directly to the trachea (windpipe). The primary purpose of these devices is to maintain an open airway. They are used for a variety of reasons, including bypassing an upper airway obstruction, providing long-term mechanical ventilation, facilitating airway clearance by allowing easier suctioning of secretions, and enabling speech for individuals who cannot vocalize otherwise.
Tracheostomy tubes come in various types and sizes, made from materials such as plastic or silicone. They
