Adult Tracheostomy Care and Management Workshop

• Tracheostomy is a surgical opening in the trachea. Tracheostomies are becoming increasingly common place both within the acute setting and the community.  As a result of this there is an expectation of increased knowledge and more advanced nursing and healthcare skills caring for these patients. The Adult Tracheostomy Care and Management Workshop is designed to provide learners with the underpinning concepts to explore the care given post operatively to patients who had undergone tracheostomy in order to develop learner’s knowledge and skills in suctioning, changing tracheostomy tapes, stoma care and during accidental decannulation for patients in the healthcare setting. Adult patients with a tracheostomy tube are a vulnerable patient,  their care may be highly complex involving a number of clinicians across different healthcare specialties, highlighting the need for good coordination, team working, communication  and documentation.

Aims of the workshop:

• Through this workshop, the practitioners will be able to contribute and manage a high performance and effective skills in management of Tracheostomy suctioning, changing tapes and stoma care
