A member asked:
Can you give me suggestions with home care and tips on adult tracheotomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need social work: Any patient with a trach should have been given explicit home care instructions. Usually a social worker is involved and verifies that the necessary supplies are at the home. You should not be looking for answers here. Talk to the physician that inserted the trach.
