No, a tracheostomy tube does not go directly into the lungs; instead, it is inserted into the trachea (the windpipe) to create an airway. The tube allows for breathing and can help bypass obstructions in the upper airway. It provides a direct pathway for air to enter the lungs, but it does not extend into the lung tissue itself.
