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.
