During those years, the United States evolved from a new nation fighting Great Britain for independence (1775â83), through the monumental American Civil War (1861â65) and, after collaborating in triumph during World War II (1941â45), to the world's sole remaining superpower from the late 20th century to present.
Tracheotomy (US /ËtreÉªkiËÉtÉmi/ tray-kee-AW-tÉ-mee) is a surgical procedure which consists of making an incision on the anterior aspect of the neck and opening a direct airway through an incision in the trachea (windpipe).
A tracheostomy is a procedure used to create an opening in the neck to bypass an obstructed airway to more easily deliver oxygen to the lungs. Your surgeon will monitor healing for several days after surgery.
