Purpose

Your nose warms, moistens and filters air that you breathe. With a trach, air your child breathes goes directly into the lungs through the trach tube. There are a few ways to add extra humidity to:

• Prevent your child's trach tube from clogging off with mucus.
• Prevent dry air that may cause more coughing and blood tinged mucus.
