Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com with another quick tip for families in intensive care.

So, today’s tip is about should a tracheostomy block in ICU. So, the question that we get quite frequently is, “Should a tracheostomy have a blockage in ICU, and if so, is that a medical emergency?” Yes, it absolutely is a medical emergency. Number two, it shouldn’t block in the first place. So, here is what needs to be done to avoid tracheostomy blockage.

So first off, it needs to be patent at all times, and ideally, it also has an inner cannula and inner tube. An inner cannula or an inner tube is almost like a safety valve in the tracheostomy. It needs to be changed quite frequently, and it needs to be inspected quite frequently to make sure there is no blockage. Because if a tracheostomy blocks, a patient can’t be ventilated, assuming they’re on a ventilator. But even if they’re not ventilated, they’re breathing spontaneously with a tracheostomy. If the tracheostomy blocks, patients can die because they can’t breathe, or they can no longer breathe.
