1) A stent can be placed to cover the hole and begin the healing process. However if the patient is on a ventilator, the healing will be interrupted due to the air pressure.

2) If the hole does not show signs of healing, the trachea has to be reconstructed - plastic surgery.

My mom is in this position and we are praying that the hole heals without surgery.

What can you do to open up your throat passage quick?

If your throat has closed up because of an allergic reaction, the remedy is to use an epi-pen, an injector of epinephrine (also known as adrenaline). If you have a serious allergy which could cause such a reaction, then you should always have an epi-pen with you. If your throat passage is blocked for some other reason, there are other remedies. The most extreme remedy is a medical procedure called a tracheotomy, which involves cutting a hole in the throat and inserting a tube to allow air to enter, but that is something that only a trained medical professional should attempt.

How do you smoke after tracheotomy?

It's a very bad idea for starters. However, in simple terms a tracheotomy allows for long term ventilation and to prevent aspiration which is swallowing food or water into the lungs. Essentially it closes off the trachea (windpipe) from the esophagus (throat). Smoking is possible because of this simple design Source: med student
