Cuffed Tracheostomy Tube
A cuffed tracheostomy tube is a medical device used to assist patients with breathing difficulties. It is inserted through a surgical opening in the neck and features an inflatable cuff that helps to create a seal in the trachea. This ensures that air flows through the tube and into the patient's lungs, making it an important tool for long-term ventilation. The use of a cuffed tracheostomy tube requires careful monitoring to prevent complications.
