In addition to wearing an endotracheal tube, what methods can people with laryngeal stenosis use to improve their condition?

Ask
Hello doctor. The doctor told me, my father has had laryngospasm for more than 1 year, the cause is unknown, but he has been intubated as well as having surgery to suspend the cartilage of the funnel. But until now, my father still has difficulty breathing and now he has to wear an endotracheal tube to eat and drink, and sometimes he chokes. So, in your father's case, is there any best method to prevent him from having to wear an endotracheal tube and still improve his breathing? I thank you doctor. Hope to get your answer soon.

Hello! Maybe you're talking about a tracheostomy tube, not an endotracheal tube. First, you must go to a specific doctor to determine your status and have an intervention method if indicated. In some cases, the tracheostomy tube can be removed if there are enough indications or the tracheostomy tube must be cared for properly. I can take my father to the ENT department of Vinmec hospital for advice and treatment!
