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.
