TRACHEOSTOMY CARE AND MANAGEMENT

Our respiratory therapists provide comprehensive trach site care, monitoring for infection, and ensuring airway patency. We follow strict protocols for cleaning, dressing changes, and trach tube replacement.

This prevents complications and supports long-term stability.

AIRWAY CLEARANCE AND SUCTIONING

Olidia offers frequent airway clearance therapies including suctioning, chest physiotherapy, and cough-assist techniques. This keeps airways free of secretions, improving oxygenation and reducing infection risks.

Therapists also train families on safe suctioning practices.

Case Study: A pediatric patient with neuromuscular disease required frequent suctioning to prevent respiratory distress. With Olidia’s structured suction schedule and caregiver training, the child avoided repeated ER visits and built a reliable daily routine.

VENTILATOR MANAGEMENT THROUGH TRACHEOSTOMY

For ventilator-dependent patients, Olidia Respiratory ensures safe management of invasive ventilation through trach access. Our team monitors settings, prevents complications, and provides continuous education for caregivers.

Ventilator care is personalized to optimize both safety and quality of life.

Case Study: A long-term care resident with ALS was supported on a home ventilator. With Olidia’s monitoring program and weekly RT visits, her ventilator routine stabilized, reducing hospitalizations and providing her family with peace of mind.

HEATED HUMIDIFICATION THERAPY

We provide heated humidifiers to prevent airway dryness, mucus plugging, and infections in tracheostomy patients. Proper humidification supports lung health and comfort, especially for long-term users.

Our therapists train patients and families on safe device use and maintenance.

Case Study: A trach-dependent patient experienced frequent mucus plugging until Olidia introduced heated humidification. His new routine included continuous humidifier use, leading to clearer airways, fewer infections, and improved comfort.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE TRAINING AND BACKUP PLANNING

Olidia equips families and caregivers with emergency response training for trach occlusions, dislodgements, or ventilator failures. Backup trach kits, suction systems, and oxygen supplies are provided for immediate use.

This ensures patient safety in critical moments.

Case Study: A teenage trach patient had an accidental tube dislodgement at home. Thanks to Olidia’s caregiver training and backup equipment, her mother replaced the tube safely, avoiding a life-threatening ER visit.

COORDINATED MULTIDISCIPLINARY SUPPORT

We work closely with pulmonologists, ENT specialists, nurses, and facility staff to deliver seamless trach care.

Regular updates and collaborative reviews ensure that the patient’s care plan adapts to their changing needs. This team approach improves outcomes and reduces fragmented care.

Case Study: An elderly COPD patient with a tracheostomy was co-managed by Olidia Respiratory, his pulmonologist, and nursing staff at a rehab center. Weekly care conferences aligned routines, reducing complications and creating a cohesive care experience.
