A tracheostomy tube is a catheter that is inserted into the windpipe (trachea) to help a person breathe. The tube is inserted after a surgeon creates an opening in the neck, called a tracheostomy or tracheotomy. A person with a tracheostomy tube breathes through the tube instead of their nose and mouth

In its simplest form, the endotracheal tube is a tube constructed of polyvinyl chloride that is placed between the vocal cords through the trachea. It provides oxygen and inhaled gases to the lungs and protects them from contamination, such as gastric contents or blood.
