00:00In this video, we'll take you through the step-by-step process of tracheostomy surgery,
00:04a life-saving procedure that creates an airway in the neck to facilitate breathing.
00:09The surgery begins with patient preparation,
00:12where the individual is positioned and anesthesia is administered.
00:15Next, the surgeon makes a horizontal incision in the neck,
00:18carefully dissecting the tissues to expose the trachea.
00:22A tracheal hook is then inserted to gently pull the trachea forward,
00:26allowing for the creation of a stoma or opening in the trachea.
00:30A tracheostomy tube is then inserted through the stoma,
00:33secured in place and connected to a ventilator or oxygen source.
00:37Finally, the incision is closed and the patient is monitored for recovery.
