title: [Care of the tracheostomy in brain injury patients].
abstract: The evolution of a patient suffering from a serious head injury can require the placement of a tracheotomy. This helps with respirator weaning and usually enables the patient to be moved from the neurosurgical intensive care ward to the neurosurgery ward. Patients fitted with a tracheotomy will therefore be cared for by post-intensive care neurological rehabilitation departments.
