Patients being discharged to non-specialised areas in managing tracheostomised patients due to the increase in tracheostomy performance has led to infrequent recovery treatment. Studies show that lack of skills healthcare professionals has raised the needs and concerns for proper guidelines in managing the patients. Even though there are several guidelines for the treatment for tracheostomised patients, the lack of guidelines for physiotherapist team in ICU has been proven to affect the recovery phase of the patients. Lack of guidelines in multidisciplinary team management and lack of information in the importance of the physiotherapist’s involvement in the care team is evident.

The increasing studies that are being performed the efficacy of physiotherapy interventions have created a strong awareness among the healthcare professionals. The treatments that are administered by physiotherapists vary between countries but the main goal of improving the quality of life of the patients is the focus among the physiotherapists everywhere. The main interventions that the physiotherapists focus on are the improvement of respiratory care, mobilisation and strengthening, and functional ability to prevent further complications and to improve the quality of life. The efficacy and consistency of the interventions that are provided for the tracheostomised patients show the need that it should be studied further. The lack of evidence of interventions that are tailored mainly towards tracheostomised patients leads to generalised physiotherapy interventions rather than individualised interventions. Thereby, further development is needed to identify the best methods that are suitable for tracheostomised patients as well as improvement in staff education who are treating tracheostomised patients is needed.
