To decrease secretion production in tracheostomy patients, healthcare providers often use humidification to keep airways moist, which can help thin secretions. Additionally, medications such as mucolytics may be prescribed to break down mucus, making it easier to manage. Anticholinergic agents can also be utilized to reduce secretions. Regular suctioning is essential for clearing excess mucus and maintaining airway patency.
