Early tracheotomy shortens ICU stay and lowers risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia

2021-06-30 - 2021-07

Surgically opening the windpipe, or trachea, within the first seven days of the start of mechanical ventilation decreases the time patients spend on ventilators, shortens their ICU stay and lowers their risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia, according to a systematic review published Thursday (March 11) in JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery. The surgery, called tracheotomy, is performed either in the operating room or at the bedside, depending on patient risk factors. The team analyzed 17 studies that included more than 3,000 patients. The systematic review compared early versus late tracheotomy, with "early" defined as being performed seven days or shorter after initiation of ventilation and "late" defined as eight days or longer, including patients who never required a tracheotomy.
