how does one breathe after a traech procedure?

Question

So when they stick the tube in your neck because you are choking im unsure in the process to breathe. Is it conscious or what? I’d assume most people don’t know how to breathe from the neck

Answer 1

your lungs do the breathing automatically, not your neck or mouth. so it’s just business as usual. I suppose it’s probably weird at first not feeling breath on your lips.
