A tracheotomy is a medical procedure that involves creating an opening in the trachea (the windpipe) to facilitate breathing. This is typically done when a patient has an obstruction in the upper airway or requires long-term ventilation support. The procedure is performed surgically and often involves inserting a tube to keep the airway open. Tracheotomies can be temporary or permanent, depending on the underlying medical condition.
