An artificial opening is an opening in the body that has been created by a health care provider. It is not a natural opening. For example, in rare serious emegency sutuations, a paramedic or a physician may have to create an artificial opening in the neck so that the patient can breathe. This is called a tracheostomy. By law, only paramedics and physicians can perform this procedure.
