Objective Neurosurgery is one of the key clinical departments at present. Most of the patients suffer from craniocerebral injury and cerebrovascular disease. Tracheotomy is an important measure to maintain the patency of the airway in critically ill patients of neurosurgery. In order to ensure the patients unobstructed breathing and effectively clear the secretions in the respiratory tract, this paper explores the application effect of sitting and lateral position expectoration in the nursing of tracheotomy patients in neurosurgery. Methods This time, the patients who received tracheotomy treatment and lung infection in the neurosurgery department of our hospital were treated with sitting and lateral position expectoration nursing, and the nursing effect of the two groups of patients was compared. Results The patients who adopted sitting position expectoration nursing were better than those who adopted lateral position expectoration in various clinical indicators and disease recovery time, P＜0.05 indicated that there was a comparative significance. Conclusion Sitting position expectoration showed obvious advantages in expectoration effect, improvement of vital signs, and promotion of overall recovery of patients. Therefore, in future clinical nursing, sitting position expectoration should be given priority to help patients recover better.
