A "trach" usually refers to a tracheostomy, which is a surgical procedure where an opening is created through the neck into the trachea to allow direct access to the breathing tube. A "trach collar" is a device used to deliver humidified oxygen to a patient with a tracheostomy. It fits over the tracheostomy opening to ensure the patient receives adequate airflow and moisture.
