Patients with tracheostomy indication in an intensive care cohort

Conclusions Elective tracheostomy is a commonly used technique in the ICU and the procedure is performed according to the protocol. The percutaneous approach is the most frequently used, with few complications. In neurological critical patients with extended weaning, an early approach reduces the number of days with ventilation and the length of stay, with no positive impact on mortality.
