A tracheostomy is a surgically made hole that goes through the front of your neck into your trachea, or windpipe. A breathing tube, called a trach tube, is placed through the hole and directly into your windpipe to help you breathe. A tracheostomy may be used to help people who need to be on ventilators for more than a couple of weeks or who have conditions that block the upper airways.

As a result, a permanent hole, or stoma, remains as the orifice through which the person breathes. A tracheostomy tube fits inside the stoma and is secured to the patientâs neck with a tube harness, and may be used by some patients who have trouble with secretion build-up in the trachea. If needed, oxygen therapy can be delivered directly through the stoma or tracheostomy tube.
