Tracheostomy refers to an opening into the trachea where an artificial airway (the tracheostomy tube) is inserted. Wolf et al treated 30 patients who had an abrupt onset of symptoms (including stridor and dyspnea) who were not given an artificial airway, and all 30 patients fared well. The final section discusses related topics such as positioning and moving patients, respiratory therapy, managing the patient with an artificial airway, and the basics of cardiopulmonary pharmacology. |
