Discuss the tracheostomy button.
What will be an ideal response?
The tracheostomy button is used to maintain the stoma of a patient on a temporary or permanent basis. The button offers several advantages. Direct access to the trachea facilitates tracheal suctioning and removal of secretions.. In emergency situations, the button can be replaced with a traditional tracheostomy tube without the need for another tracheotomy. The buttons are also suitable for patients who may require repeated tracheostomies (e.g., myasthenia gravis, quadriplegia).
