A2 - Kvetan, Vladimir PY - 1 T2 - Critical Care AB - Tracheotomy is a common procedure with almost 1 in 4 ICU patients receiving a tracheotomy.1 While a tracheotomy is a relatively straightforward surgical procedure, the medical complexity of patients requiring tracheotomy, and the debate about its timing and indications, make its utilization complex. Despite its common and widespread use there remains considerable debate in the literature regarding tracheotomies risks, benefits, and indications.
