Treacheal Montgomery canula

Nurses General Nursing

Specializes in none.

I recently got a Montgomery tracheal canula for severe sleep apnea, having "failed" CPAP and BiPAP. All nurses and therapists involved in my hospital care were unaware of how to care for me without instructions from otolaryngologist. This canula has no inner canula, no cuff, and no intrusion into the trachea. It is specific for sleep apnea. Unlike all other canulas, do not (that is to say, never) suction a Montgomery canula.

We cannot assist you in this query as per the terms of service agreed to when signing up, members agree to neither request nor offer medical advice. You need to go back to your surgeon for information and perhaps education/training for your caregivers. Good luck.
