Have you ever worked with a patient with a tracheostomy (trach)? Do you want to feel more comfortable working with this population? Are you worried that you won’t know how to manage the trach itself? Are you not sure what cues to give?
Working with this patient population can be one of the most rewarding experiences, but it can also feel very overwhelming if you don’t know what to expect or understand how you can facilitate their progress.
Join me on this episode, as we break down the anatomy, physiology, and clinical implications of working with a patient with a trach. We will discuss the equipment that is utilized to support and progress the patient, as well as important interdisciplinary communication to enhance your patient’s outcomes.
Whether you are a seasoned physical therapist or a new grad, this episode will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to assess and treat your next patient with a trach.
