Elsewhere on the internet it says tracheostomy, not endotrach. Photos I find also show that. uppityperson Feb 2013 #39

Reading elsewhere, he has a tracheostomy tube, not an endotrach. Which is a very different thing. uppityperson Feb 2013 #38

Endotrach yes, tracheostomy, no. Which does he have? All I see is "trach" which to me is tracheostom uppityperson Feb 2013 #35

I was allowed to do the Endotrach, not the trach. Pararescue Feb 2013 #41

I found this article which talks about a tracheotomy. uppityperson Feb 2013 #45

My Chihuahua has a collapsed tracheal, which is common in Chihuahuas, RebelOne Feb 2013 #22

Not the same nadinbrzezinski Feb 2013 #24

Endotrach true. Tracheostomy, no. Looks like he has a tracheostomy. uppityperson Feb 2013 #34

Cannula tracheal, means he was tubed nadinbrzezinski Feb 2013 #37

From what I read and photos I have seen, it is a tracheostomy. And everywhere says tracheotomy uppityperson Feb 2013 #42

I know what it is nadinbrzezinski Feb 2013 #44

Obviously not an endotrach there, could be a trach under the zipper of the shirt. uppityperson Feb 2013 #46

And it could be what some of us re starting to suspect. nadinbrzezinski Feb 2013 #48

Or dead. Indeed. I was just addressing the issues associated with endotrach vs trach. uppityperson Feb 2013 #50

But alas only one source is saying trach nadinbrzezinski Feb 2013 #55

Alas? Whatever. My point was... uppityperson Feb 2013 #58
