👉 A bronchostomy is a medical procedure in which an artificial tube is inserted into the chest to collect and store secretions from the lungs, such as sputum. This allows patients to breathe normally without having to cough up their own secretions, making it easier for them to breathe.

The patient will need to wear a mask and may have to lie on his back
