Abstract: Objective: To explore the significance, indications and complications of emergency tracheotomy for patients with severe head injury. Method: The clinical data of 147 patients with severe head injury treated in 2003 to 2006 were retrospectively analyzed. Result: Of them, 116 were basically cured (78.9%), 25 had improvement (17%), 7 were released from the hospital (4.8%), 4 survived(2.7%) in a vegetative state, and 5 died (3.4%). Conclusion: Emergent tracheotomy should be performed on patients with severe brain injury to resolve respiratory tract obstruction, prevent stifling, improve air current, prevent cerebral anoxia, and promote brain function recovery.

Key words: Brain injury, Tracheotomy, Surgical procedures, operative
