Name _________________. Overview. In this activity, you will study the effects of gravity on the planets of the Solar System. First, you need to view movies from the lunar Apollo missions, then calculate your weight on other planets. Finally, you will propose your weight on newly discovered planets around other stars.
A tracheostomy is an opening cut into the windpipe, or trachea. It is used as an airway for breathing. After the opening is made, a small tube is inserted to let air in, and to attach a breathing machine (mechanical ventilator) if needed.
The hole is then opened wide enough to fit a tracheostomy tube inside. Your doctor may hook up the tube to a ventilator, in case you need a machine to breathe for you. The tube will be secured in place with a band that goes around your neck. This helps keep the tube in place while the skin around it heals. Your surgical team will tell you how to care for the wound and your tracheostomy tube. Adapting to a tracheostomy tube. It typically takes one to three days to adapt to breathing through a tracheostomy tube.
