Tracheotomy Change Part 3 of 3

This is how we change my trach. I'm 20 years old and have Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). I use a Bivona TTS 6.0. This is the last part of changing my trach...adding gauze and my shoelace tie.

@superbals I have sleep apnea but no

tracheostomy

I am very sorry you have to have a

tracheostomy

[superbals]

I have a tracheostomy i got for severe sleep apnea and had to try to change it by myself for the first time today which ended in disaster...This is very helpful for me to see about the curved style trach which i was also given for an emergency. The main tracheostomy tube i use is a Montgomery Cannula. I would love to speak to more people who know more about this. Thanks a lot for the video and anybody feel free to contact me i'd love to hear some more about this

ive had so many trachs but i cant remember this one. it is however more easy than it looks especially if you have the shilly model

You guys make it look so easy!

what are you putting on the drainage sponge to keep the crusties from forming.

My mom is on a trach and I do this everyday but I use 1/2 saline and 1/2 peroxide to clean each day and have never been told about anything else to prevent this.

You learn something new every day. Good luck with everything.
