A tracheostomy is a medical procedure that involves creating an opening in the neck in order to place a tube into a person’s windpipe. The tube is inserted through a cut in the neck below the vocal cords. This allows air to enter the lungs. Breathing is then done through the tube, bypassing the mouth, nose, and throat.
Patients with tracheostomies are at risk for serious complications that may be life threatening. Because tracheostomies bypass the body’s mechanism for humidification, secretions can become very thick and can cause the tracheostomy to become obstructed. This can quickly become life threatening. A tracheostomy may also inadvertently become displaced from the windpipe resulting in an accidental decannulation. This may also be potentially life threatening. Current methods for monitoring patients with tracheostomies monitor secondary symptoms of obstruction or decannulation.
Our team of caregivers has developed a device to: · Monitor patients for obstruction or accidental decannulation · Alert caregivers in a more timely fashion · Potentially save lives · Make tracheostomies safer
