What is a tracheotomy?
The TRACHEA is the part of the AIRWAY (or breathing passage) commonly known as the "windpipe". A tracheotomy is a surgical procedure that creates a temporary opening in the trachea. The hole itself is called a tracheotomy. The tube that is placed through this hole is called a tracheotomy tube.
