Chapter 2: Monitoring
The Rüsch® CrystalClear Plus tracheostomy tube is an innovative medical product that has been specially developed for patients with a tracheostomy. This cannula is characterised by its transparent design, which makes it easy to monitor the airway.
Monitoring the airway of a person with a tracheostomy is crucial in order to recognise and treat possible complications at an early stage. The Rüsch® CrystalClear Plus tracheostomy tube offers an optimal solution for monitoring the airway as it provides a clear view of the tracheostomy stoma area. This transparency allows healthcare professionals and carers to easily see whether the tube is correctly placed and whether the patient is breathing normally. In addition, any blockages or accumulations of secretions in the tracheostomy tube can be quickly recognised.
The use of the Rüsch® CrystalClear Plus tracheostomy tube therefore helps to ensure the safety and well-being of patients with a tracheostomy. Thanks to its transparent design, it offers reliable and precise monitoring of the airway so that potential problems can be recognised and treated at an early stage. This aspect is of great importance to ensure the best possible care and support for patients with a tracheostomy.
Importance of monitoring the placement and function of the tracheostomy tube
Monitoring the placement and function of the tracheostomy tube is essential to ensure patient safety and comfort.
The placement of the tracheostomy tube must be carefully monitored to ensure that it is in the correct position. Incorrect placement can lead to complications such as airway obstruction, aspiration of secretions or haemorrhage. Therefore, regular checks should be made to ensure that the cannula is positioned correctly and that it is securely fixed to prevent it from slipping.
The function of the tracheostomy tube should also be monitored to ensure that the patient can breathe adequately. This includes monitoring the patient's breath sounds, sputum production and oxygen saturation. A blocked cannula can lead to breathlessness, while an excessive inflow of room air can lead to coughing or wheezing.
Regular monitoring of the placement and function of the tracheostomy tube enables early detection of problems and allows timely intervention. This helps to reduce the risk of complications and ensure the safety and well-being of the patient.

Another case study describes a patient with acute respiratory failure who was being artificially ventilated due to a tracheostomy. Here too, the use of the Rüsch® CrystalClear Plus cannula led to improved oxygenation. The patient's oxygen saturation could be brought to a normal level.
In both case studies, the use of the tracheal cannula was decisive for the successful oxygenation of the patients. The Rüsch® CrystalClear Plus cannula enables effective ventilation and ensures an adequate oxygen supply. The case studies clearly show how the use of this cannula can lead to an improvement in oxygenation.
Challenges associated with blood transfusion in patients with tracheostomy
and how these can be addressed:
Patients with tracheostomy present a particular challenge when it comes to blood transfusions. Due to the surgical procedure, there is a direct connection between the trachea and the outside world, which can lead to an increased risk of infection. Complications can also occur during the transfusion, as the tracheostoma can impede breathing.
To overcome these challenges, it is important that medical staff are specially trained. They must be informed about the correct handling of the tracheostomy tube and the possible complications. In addition, the transfusion should be carefully monitored in order to be able to react to potential problems at an early stage.
One way to minimise the risks is to use the Rüsch® CrystalClear Plus tracheostomy tube. This cannula was specially developed for patients with a tracheostomy and is characterised by its clear design, which allows a good view of the stoma area. This allows medical staff to quickly recognise possible bleeding or other complications and act accordingly.
In addition, care should be taken during transfusion to ensure that the cannula fits properly and that the patient's airway is not impaired. Careful monitoring of breathing during the transfusion is also very important.
Overall, performing blood transfusions in patients with a tracheostomy requires increased attention and caution on the part of medical staff. Good training, the use of appropriate tools such as the Rüsch® CrystalClear Plus tracheostomy tube and careful monitoring can help to minimise potential complications and ensure patient safety.
Measuring light padding with the Rüsch® CrystalClear Plus tracheostomy tube
The Rüsch® CrystalClear Plus tracheostomy tube is an innovative solution for patients with a tracheostoma. It is characterised by its high quality and unique functions. One of these functions is the light padding, which ensures that the cannula is comfortable and safe to wear.
