The role of the adult tracheotomy care model

The adult tracheotomy nursing model is a simulation teaching aid used for clinical nursing teaching and skills training, mainly to help nursing staff master the key points of nursing operations after tracheotomy. This model is designed based on the anatomical structure of adults, featuring realistic layers of trachea, skin and neck tissues. It can be used for training in operations such as tracheotomy care, tracheotomy tube replacement, sputum aspiration, cleaning, dressing replacement and respiratory tract management.

Through repeated practice, trainees can become familiar with the post-tracheotomy care process and master key skills such as keeping the airway unobstructed, preventing infection, and observing changes in breathing. The model can also be used for simulating unexpected situations, such as emergency handling training for the disengagement or blockage of tracheotomy tubes, to enhance nurses' clinical adaptability and safety awareness.

The application of the adult tracheotomy care model helps trainees improve their operational proficiency in a risk-free environment, enhance clinical confidence, and provide a solid practical foundation for independently completing tracheotomy care for patients in the future.
