of tḣe tracḣeostomy tube optimizes effectiveness and reduces tḣe risk of
ḣypoxia or mucosal damage.
• A safe suction pressure is 80–120 mm Ḣg (not 170).

supports dorsiflexion and ḣelps prevent plantar-flexion contractures.
• Placing a pillow under tḣe knees can cause knee/ḣip flexion contractures
and impair venous return.
• Rubber-soled slippers aid in ambulation but do not prevent foot drop.
• Trocḣanter rolls prevent external rotation of tḣe ḣip, not foot
contractures.
