The mortality among people who had tracheostomy was 11.1% (n\u2009=\u20096) and decannulation rate was 59.3% (n\u2009=\u200932). Tracheostomies were more commonly done in men, those admitted with GCS of 3.0 and had cerebrovascular accidents. Thirty (55.6%) patients had sialorrhea during their NCCU admission which demonstrated significant associations with the total length of NCCU admission, time taken for decannulation, admission GCS, Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) referrals, need to recannulate following decannulation, pulmonary infections, and oral candidiasis. Incidence of chest infections was higher prior to the institution of pharmacological management of oral secretions. Prevalence of oral candidiasis was higher among patients who received pharmacotherapies for oral secretion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Oral secretion issues increase incidences of pulmonary infections, delay decannulation, increase the need for recannulation, and prolong the stay of patients in NCCU.
