Narrowed windpipe Accidental damage to the throat can result in the airways becoming scarred and narrowed, which can cause breathing difficulties. Surgery may be needed to widen the airways. This may involve implanting a small tube called a stent to hold the airways open.

A tracheostomy is often needed when health problems require long-term use of a machine (ventilator) to help you breathe. In rare cases, an emergency tracheotomy is performed when the airway is suddenly blocked, such as after a traumatic injury to the face or neck.

Currently, most clinicians view 1–2 weeks after intubation as the most appropriate timing for tracheostomy [9].

If there is no clear duty to provide an intervention (such as a tracheostomy), then withholding or withdrawing treatments could be permissible.

The three most common reasons why a tracheotomy is performed are: Prolonged dependence on a ventilator for breathing. To bypass an obstructed upper airway. To clean and remove secretions from the airway. To deliver oxygen to the lungs more easily or safely.

Background: Critically ill patients in Intensive Care Unit (ICU), due to their temporary or permanent incompetence, are often not capable to provide informed consent (IC), although required, for not emergency invasive procedures, like elective tracheostomy.

Situations that may call for a tracheostomy include: Medical conditions that make it necessary to use a breathing machine (ventilator) for an extended period, usually more than one or two weeks. Medical conditions that block or narrow your airway, such as vocal cord paralysis or throat cancer.

Endotracheal intubation as an alternative to tracheostomy after intraoral or oropharyngeal surgery. Head Neck.
