The windpipe splits into two bronchi that enter your lungs. A tracheostomy provides another way for oxygen-rich air to reach your lungs, besides going through your nose or mouth. A breathing tube, also called a trach (trake) tube, is put through the tracheostomy and directly into the windpipe to help you breathe. Doctors use tracheostomies for many reasons. One common reason is to help people who need to be on ventilators (VEN-til-a-tors) for more than a couple of weeks.
When Your Child Needs a Tracheostomy: Suctioning In a trach tube, mucus can build up and thicken. As a result, mucus can plug up the trach tube, making it hard for your child to breathe. Regular suctioning of mucus keeps the tube clear.
