Placement

The cannulas are introduced directly through the tracheostomy opening.

  1. When a cannula is replaced, the skin must be cleansed with an antiseptic solution.
  2. A gel lubricant may optionally be used to ease the insertion maneuver.
  3. The cannula flange is secured by encircling the neck with the tape provided. Do not apply excessive tension when tying the tape.
  4. Ask the assistant to slip a little finger under the tape before tightening it. This achieves an appropriate tension for comfortable use.
  5. Place a gauze between the flange and the skin of the neck.

Postoperative care

Recommendations for the postoperative care of the patient with a tracheostomy cannula.

  • Change the gauze placed between the cannula flange and the skin at least once a day.
  • Cleanse the skin with an antiseptic solution.
  • In case of an unwanted increase in bronchial secretions or their viscosity, drink plenty of fluids, perform frequent nebulizations and use a suction system to remove secretions through the cannula.
  • Consult your physician.

Warnings for use
