    Tracheostomy is foreign and scary to most people. Since ancient times, neck cutting is a form of suicide, but the doctor has to cut a person's trachea, can the person still live? This article provides an overview of the important basic skill of an otopharyngologists, tracheostomy.

    The two most basic conditions for a person to survive normally are normal respiratory function and normal cardiovascular function. In normal respiratory function, patency of the airway is essential. If there is a blockage on the road from the throat to the trachea, it can kill a person within minutes.

    Tracheostomy is an important means of ensuring the patency of the airway. As shown in the figure below, the upper end is not passed, and the middle channel can be ventilated.

    Tracheostomy has been recorded as early as the ancient Greek period, and in the 19th century, when diphtheria was popular in Europe, some doctors used tracheostomy technology to solve the problem of patients unable to breathe after laryngeal obstruction. Unfortunately, due to technical conditions and follow-up limitations, only a quarter of patients survived tracheostomy at that time. It wasn't until the beginning of the 20th century that the modern standard tracheostomy technique was finally laid.

    Through a tracheostomy, the doctor allows a patient with a blocked larynx to breathe through a tracheostomy incision; Patients with severe infections of the lungs can be allowed to pass sputum through an incision after tracheostomy; Patients who cannot be weaned off the ventilator after endotracheal intubation can be removed from oral intubation. Among the many types of otolaryngology surgeries, the most life-saving surgery is tracheostomy, and George Washington, the founder of the United States, was kept bleeding because he did not get this **, and finally died.

    Generally, in the operating room, when the patient has tracheal intubation, tracheostomy is a very safe operation, and the more dangerous is in the case of acute laryngeal obstruction, because there is no time to prepare sufficient equipment, tracheostomy is very dangerous, and the patient is agitated because of suffocation, and the operation in the neck can easily cause heavy bleeding, or the trachea has died before it is found.

    During surgery, the isthmus of the thyroid gland should be pushed up or incised, and then the 3rd 4th (or 4th 5th) cartilage ring of the trachea should be cut in the anterior midline of the trachea with a sharp knife, and the endotracheal cannula should be inserted. If it is too high, it is easy to injure the first cartilage ring, which will cause laryngopharyngeal stenosis and damage the thyroid gland, causing massive bleeding; If it is too low, it is easy to make the cannula protrude or resist the bulge, causing mucosal injury and bleeding, or causing mediastinal emphysema, and even injuring the large blood vessels in the chest.
