Nursing Care: Mobalizing SecretionsTrach patients often experience a temporary increase in the production of secretions, and often require assistance to mobilize these secretions. Their artificial airway bypasses natural humidification and imposes a foreign object that the body reacts to.In addition, many patients have acute and/or chronic diseases that predispose to stagnation of secretions. Frequent repositioning, deep breathing and coughing, chest physiotherapy, postural drainage, oral and parenteral hydration, and supplemental humidification all help to thin and mobilize secretions.Tubing from an external moisture source accumulates moisture and will need frequent draining. The tubing is positioned lower than the patient to avoid aspiration.
