Abstract

Tracheostomy is a surgical procedure in which a surgical opening, called a tracheostomy or stoma, is created in the front of the neck into the trachea (windpipe). This opening provides an alternative airway for breathing when the normal route through the nose and mouth is obstructed or compromised. Objective: To determine the level of knowledge of staff nurses regarding tracheostomy care in Tertiary Care Hospitals in Karachi. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Karachi. Fifty participants were recruited through a convenient sampling method. The data were collected from the fifty male and female participants aged 18-50 years old of staff nurses working in the tertiary care hospital. The adopted questionnaire was used for the data collection. Results: The result reveals that 60% were female and 40% were male. Moreover, most nurses 60% had unsatisfactory and 40% had satisfactory knowledge regarding tracheostomy care. Conclusions: This shows a need for additional education and training to enhance nurses' general knowledge and proficiency in delivering the best care for patients with tracheostomies. By filling in this information gap, we can improve patient outcomes and lower the chance of problems from tracheostomy care.
