Where is the Intersurgical EcoLite Adult Tracheostomy Mask used?
A tracheostomy mask is used for patients who have had a tracheostomy procedure, which involves creating an opening through the neck into the trachea (windpipe). The mask is designed to fit over the stoma (the hole made in the trachea) to secure an oxygen supply or assisted ventilation. It is commonly used in various settings, such as:
- Hospitals: In both intensive care units and general wards for patients with long-term ventilation needs.
- Long-term Care Facilities: For residents who require tracheostomy care and ventilation support.
- Home Care: For patients living at home who need regular oxygen therapy or ventilator support due to chronic respiratory conditions or other medical reasons that impair breathing.
- Emergency Medical Services: By paramedics in pre-hospital settings for patients with existing tracheostomies who require oxygen or ventilation assistance.
The tracheostomy mask allows for the delivery of oxygen and the humidification of the air entering the lungs, which is essential for tracheostomy patients to breathe comfortably and effectively.
