Introduction The optimal timing of tracheotomy in critically ill patients remains a topic of
debate. We performed a systematic review to clarify the potential benefits of early versus late …

Background The optimal timing of tracheostomy placement in acutely brain-injured patients,
who generally require endotracheal intubation for airway protection rather than respiratory …

Background Early tracheostomy may decrease the duration of mechanical ventilation,
sedation exposure, and intensive care stay, possibly resulting in improved clinical outcomes …

Background The optimal timing of tracheotomy in critically ill ventilated patients remains
controversial. Objectives The objective of this meta-analysis was to assess tracheotomy …

Materials and methods All existing International guidelines on the topic, various randomized
controlled trials, meta-analysis, systematic reviews, retrospective studies were taken into …

Objective In this study we compared the effects of early tracheostomy (ET) versus late
tracheostomy on traumatic brain injury (TBI)-related outcomes and prognosis. Patients and …

BACKGROUND: Tracheostomy is considered the airway management of choice for patients
who need prolonged mechanical ventilation support. Percutaneous Dilatational …

Background and purpose Tracheostomy is a surgical procedure performed frequently in
intensive care units (ICUs). Prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) is the main indication for …

Tracheostomy can be performed surgically or by percutaneous (percutaneous dilatory
tracheostomy, PDT) methods, and it may be used early or late. In a 3-month follow-up, all …

Background: Examining the differences in quality and intensity of care within the context of
ICU structure is needed to better understand the mortality differences observed between …
