An opening made surgically in the trachea to create an airway in cases of respiratory obstruction.<\/p>\n
A surgical operation to make a hole through the throat into the windpipe, so as to allow air to get to the lungs in cases where the trachea is blocked, as in pneumonia, poliomyelitis or diphtheria.<\/p>\n
A surgical operation to make an artificial opening in the windpipe (trachea), which is then kept open by insertion of a tube. Tracheostomy may be performed as a temporary emergency procedure, as in severe cases of croup or choking, or it can be a planned permanent procedure, as when someone is on a ventilator (respirator).<\/p>\n
Surgically created opening into the trachea, with a tube inserted to establish an airway when the pharynx is obstructed by tumor, edema, or other cause. Also called tracheotomy.<\/p>\n
An incision into the trachea creating a permanent opening to allow for a patent or open airway.<\/p>\n
Surgery involving the insertion of a tube through the neck and into the windpipe to keep the airway open. Tracheotomy may be performed as a nonemergency surgical procedure to allow a person to use a ventilator, or it may be done as an emergency, life-saving strategy when the windpipe is completely obstructed and breathing is not possible.<\/p>\n
Incision into the trachea through the skin and soft tissues of the neck.<\/p>\n
A medical intervention involving the creation of an aperture by means of an incision in the neck, enabling the establishment of an unobstructed pathway for air through a deliberate opening in the windpipe (trachea).<\/p>\n
A surgical cut made into the windpipe.<\/p>\n
