Spotlight: Clearview Tracheostomy Simulation Device
The ClearView Tracheostomy Trainer is an interactive model that addresses the difficulties in understanding tracheostomy and revolutionizes tracheostomy education. This versatile tracheostomy trainer can demonstrate
Tracheal Suctioning
Suctioning is a standard of care to remove secretions from the airway for safety, patient comfort and infection control.
Cleaning and Replacing the Inner Cannula
Cleaning and removal of the inner cannula of the tracheostomy tube can prevent tube obstruction and potential emergencies.
COVID-19 Tracheostomy and Mechanical Ventilation
The 2019 novel corona virus COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an increase in patients intubated and use of mechanical ventilation. The United States and globally, we are likely to see an increase in tracheostomy as well, as patients may have difficulty weaning and require longer periods of time on a vent. COVID-19 also has implications for healthcare workers, as there are shortages with workers becoming ill from the virus. Infection control is paramount in controlling the outbreak and protecting patients, healthcare workers and the community
Subglottic Suctioning: Benefits, Covid-19 and Manual versus Automatic
Subglottic suctioning can significantly reduce secretions above the cuff to reduce the risk of microaspiration and potential aspiration pneumonia. It can reduce costs and improve patient quality of life.

Is Tracheostomy Permanent?
Whether the tracheostomy is permanent or temporary depends on the initial indication for tracheostomy. Sometimes during placement, it is difficult to predict the amount of time one will require a tracheostomy tube.
