3. Dilator: A tapered instrument used to enlarge the tracheal opening during the procedure.
4. Suture material: Sterile thread or sutures used to secure the tracheostomy tube in place.
5. Dressings: Sterile gauze or adhesive dressings used to cover and protect the tracheostomy site.
6. Scissors: Medical-grade scissors used to cut sutures or dressings during the procedure.
7. Forceps: Surgical instruments used to hold and manipulate tissues during the tracheostomy.
8. Syringe: A device used to inflate the cuff of the tracheostomy tube, if applicable, to secure it in place.
9. Lubricant: A sterile lubricating gel or jelly used to facilitate the insertion of the tracheostomy tube.
10. Sterile gloves: Disposable gloves worn by healthcare professionals to maintain a sterile environment during the procedure.
Emergency Tracheostomy Kits are essential in emergency medical settings, such as hospitals, ambulances, and emergency rooms, where immediate airway access is required to save a patient's life. These kits are designed to be compact, portable, and easily accessible to healthcare providers in critical situations.
