?A must-read after laryngeal cancer surgery! Tracheostomy care tips?

🔍Tracheostomy is an opening set up after laryngeal cancer surgery to keep the airway open. Its care is crucial, not only related to respiratory function, but also affects the quality of recovery after surgery.

🌟For this situation, I suggest you use the following methods for care:

✅Keep clean: Clean the stoma regularly with saline or warm water to prevent infection.

✅Keep moist: You can use a sprayer or humidifier to keep the air around the stoma moist to avoid discomfort caused by dryness.

✅Avoid irritation: Do not cough or clear your throat forcefully to avoid unnecessary irritation to your stoma.

✅Regular check-ups: Observe the condition of the stoma in a timely manner. If there are any abnormalities such as redness, swelling, or pain, seek medical attention immediately.

💪In daily life, you should also pay attention to eating a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Wear loose and comfortable clothing to reduce friction on the stoma. Avoid strenuous exercise to avoid affecting the healing of the stoma.

💪Caring for a tracheostomy requires patience and care. Everyone must maintain an optimistic attitude and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and advice. At the same time, go to the hospital for regular checkups to ensure good recovery.
