Shiley cuffed/ uncuffed fenestrated tracheostomy tube
A disposable plastic tube with an introducer, cuff and two inner tubes
(one permanent, this has a white top; one fenestrated inner tube, this
has a green top). In addition, a spare non-fenestrated inner tube (which
has a red top) must also be available. This is used to replace the white
top inner tube when this is cleaned.
This tube may be used in the following ways:
1. With the inner tube (white top) insitu and the cuff inflated when the
patient requires full ventilatory support.
2. With the inner tube (white top) removed and the cuff deflated. This
can be used as the final stage in the process of weaning the patient
from using the tracheostomy. By covering the external end of the
tube with a one-way valve or decannulation plug, the patient will be
able to breathe through their nose and mouth in the normal way. It is
more difficult to breath through this system than it is to breath
normally as the tube causes some obstruction, and this must be
considered when assessing the patient.
