Tracheostomy Care is often needed when health problems require long-term use of a ventilator to help you breathe. The tracheostomy provides an air passage to help you breathe when the usual route for breathing is blocked or reduced. When a tracheostomy is no longer needed, it's allowed to heal shut or is surgically closed. For some people, a tracheostomy is permanent.
