Why choose Aspire UK?
Your tracheostomy and ventilator home care questions answered
What is a tracheostomy?
A tracheostomy is a small opening, known as a stoma, made at the front of the neck to help a person breathe more easily. A tube is gently inserted into this opening to allow air to pass through the windpipe.
This is often recommended when breathing becomes difficult due to blockages in the mouth, nose, or throat. Some common reasons for a tracheostomy are:
- ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)
- Long-term ventilation
- Severe trauma
- Airway obstruction
What is ventilation?
Ventilation is a type of breathing support that uses a machine to help move air in and out of the lungs. It may be delivered through a mask (non-invasive ventilation) or directly into the airway using a tube (invasive ventilation).
Some people with a tracheostomy may require ventilation through their tracheostomy tube. However, not everyone with a tracheostomy needs ventilation; it depends on their individual medical needs.
How do you handle emergency blockages?
In the event of a blockage, our trained staff act quickly and calmly. They’ll assess the cause and suction the airway as needed. If the issue isn’t resolved, they may replace the tube to restore airflow.
If further support is required, they will contact emergency services to ensure a fast response.
Can care be funded by the NHS or a local authority?
Yes. Depending on your circumstances, care may be fully or partially funded by the NHS or your local authority. We’re happy to help guide you through the process and connect you with the right support teams.
What training do care workers receive?
Our care workers receive comprehensive tracheostomy and ventilator care training, including airway management, suctioning, humidification, infection prevention, emergency response, and ongoing support techniques.
We ensure every care worker is confident, capable, and compassionate in delivering safe, person-centred care.
