The mini-tracheotomy technique has many uses in the management of the tracheobronchial tree such as:
- Suction therapy for sputum retention
- Weaning off IPPV
- Coma patients
- Stoma patency
- 02 therapy
- Emergency airway (for upper airway obstruction)
Advantages, features & benefits
- Guarded scalpel intended to allow midline incision to be made with minimal risk of damage to the posterior tracheal wall
- Curved introducer aids introduction of the cannula
- 4mm ID, thermosensitive, blue line cannula
- Neck tapes for secure fixation of the cannula to the neck
- 10F suction catheter. Low friction endobronchial catheter for initial suctioning following cannulation
