Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* Adult Patients, ages 18 or older, cared for on adult inpatient units/wards.
* Patients who have a tracheostomy tube.
* Tracheostomy tube has been in place at lease for 72 hours (to avoid any late effects of anesthesia that was administered at the time of tracheostomy tube placement).
* Patients must have a physician order to suction the tracheostomy tube at least every 8 hours. This will help us to recruit patients for whom suctioning is already part of standard care. Therefore, patients will not undergo unnecessary suctioning for the purpose of the study.
* Expected hospitalization to be 5 days or greater after consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Fresh tracheostomy that still has bleeding from the stoma (\< 72 hours since the surgical placement of a tracheostomy tube).
* Active respiratory distress or hemodynamic changes that warrant a change in the existing treatment plan.
* Patients who are expected to die or undergo withdrawal of treatment within 48 hours.
* Patients who are allergic to latex to avoid a reaction with the red rubber suction catheter that will be used in the study.
