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 methodological bias of to small to determine an effect. Thus, it is not known what the optimal timing of the tracheostomy is in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients.
