Individuals who require a tracheotomy or a tracheostomy usually experience one of three things: 1- to bypass an obstructed upper airway, 2- to clean and remove secretions from the airway and 3- to easily and safely deliver oxygen to the lungs. This medical procedure can be temporary or permanent and is commonly referred to as a stoma (the name for the hole in the neck that the tube passes through). An opening in the neck is required to place a tube into the individual's trachea (windpipe).
