this is a small curved tube that is placed under a persons Adams apple by the use of surgery. its use is to help a person breath, no air can pass through the nose or mouth when a tracheostomy is in place, only air can pass through the tracheostomy tube it is changed every week and it can be suctioned to remove any gunk that can block it.

a cannula is a piece of medical equipment i am very familiar with. it is where a needle is placed into a vein with a small tube sticking out, most people have these put in when they are giving blood. whilst i was in hospital i had about 20 of these due to the fact that as i was getting weaker, my veins began to shrink and get smaller and less visable to the human eye. cannulars are also used to place medicines into the human body as you can see in the top main picture on this page...i had MANY!!!
