AB  - A  tracheostomy  is  an  opening  between  cartilaginous  rings  in  the  trachea  and  the  skin,  with  a  tracheostomy  tube  placed  into  the  stoma  to  facilitate  ventilation.  Tracheostomy  is  usually  performed  as  an  elective  or  semi-elective  procedure  and  is  not  an  emergency  procedure.  Most  tracheostomies  are  performed  on  chronically  ill  patients  requiring  prolonged  mechanical  ventilation.
