Tracheostomy Care

A tracheostomy is a medical procedure where a small hole is created in the front of the neck to insert a tube into the windpipe (trachea). This helps a patient breathe when the normal airway is blocked or compromised.

The tube is called a Tracheostomy tube or trach tube. It can be temporary or permanent depending on the patient’s condition.

Tracheostomy Care at Home ensures safe, hygienic, and professional airway management in the comfort of your home. Expert nurses provide regular tube care, suctioning, and respiratory support to help patients breathe easier and live more confidently.

Nebulisation is a medical process used to deliver liquid medication directly into the lungs in the form of a fine mist or aerosol. This is done using a device called a nebuliser, which converts liquid medicine into breathable vapour.

It’s commonly used for treating respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, and lung infections. Nebulisation helps open up the airways, reduce inflammation, and ease breathing by delivering medication effectively and quickly where it’s needed most.

Airway Suctioning is a medical procedure used to clear mucus, secretions, blood, or other fluids from a patient’s airway to help maintain clear breathing. It is especially important for individuals who cannot cough up secretions on their own due to conditions like tracheostomy, stroke, paralysis, or severe respiratory illness.

A sterile suction catheter connected to a machine or manual device is gently inserted into the airway through the mouth, nose, or tracheostomy tube. This helps prevent airway blockage, reduces the risk of infection, and ensures adequate oxygen flow, making it a critical part of respiratory care both in hospitals and at home.

Chest Physiotherapy (CPT) is a respiratory therapy technique used to help clear mucus and secretions from the lungs. It involves manual methods such as gentle clapping (percussion), vibration, and specific breathing exercises performed by a trained professional or caregiver.

CPT is especially beneficial for patients with conditions like chronic bronchitis, cystic fibrosis, pneumonia, or after surgery, where mucus build-up can obstruct airways. By loosening and moving secretions toward the larger airways, CPT makes it easier for patients to cough out or suction the mucus, improving breathing and reducing the risk of lung infections.
