Got a quick question for those of you with trach's or children with trach's or trach knowledge.
When I am up and out and about going to class, I was using a thermovent to keep my airway moist. However, if I use my thermovent, my secretions are thick and bloody but if I don't use the thermovent, they are just thick. Is there something I am missing or something I could do to help keep them thin and easy to suction/cough out. I have since quit using my thermovents. Is it just me being me or any advice? (I know Kimi already answered on FB)
