What is a Cool Mist Trach Collar? ESSENTIAL Info! Life with a Vent

When using a tracheostomy tube, one of the biggest concerns is keeping the airway hydrated. Normally when a person breathes, the upper airway warms and moistens air as it is inhaled. However, with a tracheostomy tube in place, the upper airway is bypassed. This means the air the person breathes in is very dry. Dry air will dehydrate the airway and cause the mucus to become very thick and sticky. The thick, sticky mucus can clog the tracheostomy tube and make it very hard to breathe. To prevent this from happening, it is essential to keep the airway moist and the mucus thin. One machine which helps hydrate the airway is called a cool mist trach collar.
