Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tracheostomy is the procedure where an opening is created into the trachea through the neck to establish an airway.

Note: Endotracheal intubation is also a procedure in which a tube is inserted through the mouth or nose into the trachea to establish an airway, but it does not involve creating a permanent opening in the neck. However, since the question specifies "opening into the trachea through the neck," tracheostomy is the more appropriate choice.
