Abstract:
Nowadays there are still a lot of controversies about indications methods and timing for tracheotomy in the patients who need long-term mechanical ventilation.Some recent studies have shown that early tracheostomy can increase patient comfort compliance and may reduce the use of sedatives,decrease ventilator associated pneumonia occurrence,reduce duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay.Presently we consider that the early tracheostomy may benefit patients needing long-term mechanical ventilation,and percutaneous dilational tracheostomy is a better way of tracheotomy,however we need to correctly grasp the indications.
