Objective To summarize the experiences of artificial airway management for inhalation injury patients undergoing tracheotomy. Methods A retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 16 patients with inhalation injury who accepted artificial airway implantation after tracheotomy from January 2012 to October 2014. Certain measures were taken for the patients such as timely sputum suction in a correct way, effective airway moist, timely airway lavage, strict aseptic operation, reasonable position management, dynamic observation and health education. Results Fifteen patients were cured, and one died. Among the cured patients, there were one case of catheter change due to blocked sputum, and one case of catheter outward portion sliding depth adjusting. Conclusion Strengthening artificial airway management after tracheotomy is the key to keep airway unobstructed, to prevent complications, and to guarantee the safety and a speedy recovery of patients.
