How to Shower & Bathe with a Trach Tube or Ventilator. Life with a Vent

One of the more challenging activities of daily life for someone with a tracheostomy tube or ventilator is bathing. Extra precautions should be used to prevent water from entering the tracheostomy tube or splashing on the ventilator. Although extra care is needed, it can still be an enjoyable experience. Join me this week as I discuss how to bathe with a tracheostomy tube or ventilator. #lifewithavent #bathing #ventilator

Hello. The best place to get them is through a medical equipment company.

thanks for the video. i just wonder how you wash your long hairs? it is beautiful. i am also worried how to shower and wash hairs with trach on.

[@LifewithaVent]

Thank you for your kind words. When i shower, I am careful to keep the shower head away from my trach and I keep my trach covered with a HME. Other than that, I shower just like anyone else.

Hi, my name is Jeffrey and I’m an occupational therapist and ostomy management specialist. I came across your videos during some research for a course I teach on ostomy management (which includes tracheostomy care). Could I have your permission in showing a portion of one of your KZbin videos to better educate health care professionals? Thanks for the consideration! Jeffrey Despommier, OTR, OMS, CUA, ATP

is showering still enjoyable with a trach or do you find it stressful?

[@LifewithaVent]

Showering is still enjoyable.
