A mask interface is called noninvasive ventilation, while a tracheostomy tube is called invasive ventilation
It makes cleaning easier. Secretions build up on the inside which can be removed and easily cleaned and reinserted or replaced.

- the test tube may break- the liquid can be spread outside
The air from a ventilator is delivered to the patient either through a face mask or directly into the lungs through a tracheostomy (trach) tube

Emergency tracheostomy is necessary if the airway is not accessible (ie, due to swelling or some obstruction in the mouth or throat) and the patient cannot breathe. Otherwise the patient can be orally intubated and attached to the ventilator. After more than 7 days on the mechanical ventilation, however, it is wise to perform a tracheostomy for longer term management without maintaining the tube down the throat.
suctioning and routine weekly tracheostomy tube changes.
A tube which is inserted into an incision in the trachea (tracheostomy) to relieve upper airway obstruction.
A tracheostomy cuff is the part of the airway device that inflates to hold the tube in place.
I assure you that they can, if they have a actual tube in place.
tracheostomy
Infection is the biggest threat.
Almost all systems use a machine called a ventilator that pushes air through a tube for delivery to the patient's airways. The air may be delivered through a nasal or face mask, or through an opening in the trachea (windpipe), called a tracheostomy.
In tracheostomy care, medical asepsis is performed although you use sterile equipment. - Ed Robert Arnad
Factors which may affect tidal volume and therefore overall minute ventilation during invasive ventilation include: lung compliance and resistance, Correct ETT/ tracheostomy positioning, adequate cuff pressure, ventilator settings ( eg. Is the pt in a controlled or spontaneous mode of ventilation, the level of pressure support dialed up etc), the patients conscious state and the patency of the ETT/tracheostomy tube.
