Can Tracheal Tube Help In Alleviating Respiratory Distress?

My Auntie has emphesema and currently in the hospital for respiratory distress. she is currently on a respirator & they tried to take her off but she cannot breath on her own with the oxygen so theyare suggesting to put a trachea in. her lungs are very bad & low functioning. do you think the trachea will work?

What they are talking is to put a Endotracheal tube inside her lungs & she will be made to respire on artificial ventillator which will give & control the breathing of her from outside so no worries of her lungs being weak or anything.Secondly she may be weaned of the ventillator once she starts taking efficient breaths by herself.Secondly they may be putting her in icu to observe & give her appropriate bronchodilators & antibiotics.
Thanks to contact hcm.Hope i helped to clear your query.
