Ask his doctor: That is a question to ask the physician caring directly for your client. Who knows the clients history and airway anatomy.

No: Tracheostomies are placed in patients when they are not able to breathe on their own without it. If a patient has a tracheostomy tube then removing it may make breathing more difficult. This could be very dangerous. The patient needs to discuss when and if to remove this with their physician.
