Approach to the Tracheostomy

This is still included in the A of ABCs but I got essentially no training on this in paramedic school. Airway problems are terrifyring without an approach to solve them. But when you have an approach you can fall back on that with a calm confidence. It’s like we’ve always heard: we don’t rise to the occasion, we fall to the level of training. With trach’s, we unfortunately have to train ourselves.
