Tracheostomy Care in Gurgaon
Avalon tracheostomy care services in Gurgaon are provided by experienced and qualified nurses who are trained to manage tracheostomies and provide round-the-clock care and support to patients in their homes.
A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an opening in the neck to the windpipe (trachea). This allows air to flow directly into the lungs, bypassing the nose and mouth. A tracheostomy tube is inserted into the opening to keep it open.
Tracheostomy care is important to prevent infections, keep the airway clean, and ensure that the patient is breathing comfortably. Tracheostomy care can be provided at home by a trained caregiver or by the patient themselves.
