Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure of opening a new airway by making a cut in the neck and inserting a tube through the trachea to facilitate breathing. A tracheotomy, on the other hand, is the incision into the trachea and does not involve the insertion of a tube. MDI stands for Metered Dose Inhaler, which is a device used to deliver medication directly into the lungs. A nebulizer is also a device used to administer medication, but it converts liquid medication into a mist that can be inhaled through a mask or mouthpiece. Neither of these devices is used for maintaining a new opening in the trachea.
