Question 1 of 5
The purpose of a tracheostomy is to remove obstruction and ease:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The purpose of a tracheostomy is primarily to remove an obstruction in the upper airway, typically the larynx or pharynx, in order to maintain a patient's airway and facilitate breathing. By creating a direct airway through the neck into the trachea, a tracheostomy helps improve the flow of air into the lungs, especially in situations where the upper airway is compromised due to an injury, infection, or other medical conditions. This procedure is crucial for patients who are unable to breathe effectively through their nose and mouth, providing a more stable and secure air passage for oxygen delivery. While a tracheostomy may also influence other aspects like comfort and swallowing in some cases, the primary and immediate purpose is to ensure adequate breathing.
