Humidification for Children with Tracheostomies

National Tracheostomy Safety Project.
In this short video, learn how to stop a paediatric tracheostomy tube from becoming blocked by using a series of different humidification devices. Devices vary from each child and in different situations, so it is essential to know the basics.
Our goal is to improve the safety and quality of care for patients with tracheostomies and laryngectomies through education. We’ve collaborated with key stakeholders in tracheostomy care and developed these freely accessible resources, supported by online learning developed with the Department of Health. We’ve worked with the Global Tracheostomy Collaborative since 2012 to improve care for patients and their families around the world.
This is one of a series of videos dedicated to training and education around paediatric tracheostomy care. The videos feature patients and their families and carers demonstrating and explaining their experiences with tracheostomies. All of the participants have given appropriate consent to feature in these videos.
