Official Title: Optimal Timing for Tracheostomy in Invasively Mechanically Ventilated COVID-19 Patients
Brief Summary:
Tracheostomy is a medical procedure performed on the front of a persons neck.It is used to create a connection between the persons trachea and a mechanical ventilator instead of using a tube going through the mouth into the trachea, oral intubation.Living with a tracheostomy tube is less stressful compared to oral intubation and facilitate being awake and the start of training on spontaneous ventilation in mechanically ventilated patients.Studies of the timing of tracheostomy are either severely affected by…
