For a tracheostomy, essential supplies include a tracheostomy tube, an obturator for tube insertion, sterile gloves, suction equipment, a syringe for cuff inflation, and securing ties or a tracheostomy collar. Additional supplies may include antiseptic solution, gauze pads, and a tracheostomy dressing for site care. Proper equipment for oxygen delivery and ventilation support may also be necessary, depending on the patient's needs.
