Why is a Tracheostomy Performed?
If an individual's airway is acutely obstructed, a tracheostomy may be necessary for the person to be able to breathe. It may be performed in an emergency situation or as a result of a chronic illness or other problem that makes normal breathing impossible. Although some diabetics have tracheostomies, there are some other conditions that may necessitate a tracheostomy. These are: birth defects of the airway, burns, cancer, coma, infection, injury to the larynx, a need for extended ventilator or respiratory support, obstructive sleep apnea, tumors, vocal cord paralysis, tumors, and more.
