What's tracheostomy care for little children?

Cleanliness...: Keeping the cannulas as clean as possible if your child has one is important. Suctioning as needed can help to keep it clear of secretion buildup as well. For those trachs without inner cannulas that can be exchanged, often a trach change will be done every so often to keep it clean and open.

A few things: Trach tubes for children don't have inner cannulas, so the whole trach tube needs to be taken out and cleaned periodically. I recommend at least every 2 weeks and more often if needed. You need to have training, suction, spare tubes, etc to care for a child with a trach. It is a little more complicated if the child is also on a ventilator.
