A trachea plug, often referred to in medical contexts, is a blockage in the trachea, the windpipe that carries air to and from the lungs. This blockage can be caused by various factors, including mucus buildup, foreign objects, or swelling from infections. It can lead to breathing difficulties and requires prompt medical attention to restore airway patency. Treatment may involve suctioning, bronchoscopy, or other interventions to remove the obstruction.
