Course Overview:The "An Understanding of Tracheostomy Care" course is designed to provide healthcare professionals and caregivers with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills necessary to provide safe and effective care for patients with tracheostomies. Tracheostomy care involves the management and maintenance of a surgical opening in the trachea to facilitate breathing, and it requires a specialised understanding to ensure the well-being of patients who rely on this artificial airway. Course Duration: 1 day (6 hours) Course Objectives:By the end of this course, participants will be able to:1. Understand how respiratory status is assessed2. Understand the reason for a tracheostomy3. Understand tracheostomy care4. Understand how to respond to complications in tracheostomy care5. Understand safety procedures for managing a tracheostomy Course Objectives:1. Recognise the importance of tracheostomy care: Understand the significance of proper tracheostomy care in maintaining airway patency, preventing complications, and promoting patient comfort.2. Learn about different types of tracheostomies: Familiarise yourself with various types of tracheostomies, including temporary and permanent tracheostomies, and their indications.3. Acquire skills in tracheostomy assessment and hygiene: Develop hands-on skills in assessing tracheostomy condition, maintaining hygiene, and changing dressings or inner cannulas when necessary.4. Understand suctioning techniques: Learn proper suctioning techniques to clear secretions from the tracheostomy tube, ensuring proper airflow and minimising the risk of infection.5. Address stoma care and dressing: Gain knowledge about stoma care, including cleaning, moisturising, and applying appropriate dressings to prevent irritation and infection.6. Develop communication skills: Learn effective communication techniques to educate patients, caregivers, and family members about tracheostomy care, suctioning procedures, and potential complications.7. Address potential tracheostomy-related complications: Recognise possible complications such as infection, tube displacement, and skin breakdown, and learn strategies to prevent and manage these issues.8. Ethical considerations and patient-centered care: Explore ethical issues related to patient autonomy, informed consent, and providing care with empathy, respect, and dignity.
