It is normal to have a small air bag next to the tracheotomy opening to prevent air leakage and aspiration, and it is important to keep the pressure in the air bag stable during daily use.
The small air bag next to the tracheotomy opening is used to prevent air leakage and aspiration, and it is important to ensure that the pressure inside the air bag is maintained between 25-30 mmHg during use. If the pressure is too high, localized compression ischemic necrosis may result. If the pressure is too low, leakage may occur. It is also important to note that the air bag should be deflated every 4-5 hours.
Patients should be placed in a quiet, comfortable environment after tracheotomy. The room should also be disinfected and treated regularly. Family members should take care to prevent the airbag from clogging and observe the air pressure of the airbag in time.
Tracheotomy surgery carries certain surgical risks, and patients are advised to go to regular hospitals to find experienced doctors for treatment, and actively cooperate with the treatment according to the treatment advice given by the doctors.
