Nursing rationale best explains the reasons for using cuffed tracheostomy care is that positive pressure ventilation and aspiration are both possible with cuffed tubes.

A tracheostomy is a surgical incision made into the trachea below the larynx through which an indwelling tube is inserted to clear a blockage in the upper airway, make it easier to maintain a mechanical ventilator, and/or remove secretions from the trachea and bronchi.

The distal end of a cuffed tracheostomy tube has a characteristic that resembles a balloon. Low-pressure, low-volume, and foam-filled cuffs are the three basic categories of cuffs. If the cuff is not required for those reasons, it shouldn't be utilised since, even when deflated, it irritates the trachea and causes and traps secretions.
