At present, there are four methods of tracheotomy: Tracheotomy; percutaneous tracheotomy; cricothyroidectomy; minimally invasive tracheotomy.

Third: when the patient's dyspnea is obvious, and the cause of disease can not be relieved soon, tracheotomy should be performed in time. Tracheotomy can also be considered according to the specific situation in patients with dyspnea due to the narrowing of pharyngeal cavity and laryngeal cavity caused by pathological changes of adjacent laryngeal tissues. Or * the retention of lower respiratory tract secretions caused by various reasons. Tracheostomy can be considered for the purpose of expectoration and airway patency.
