Early versus late tracheostomy after decompressive craniectomy for stroke
ConclusionEarly tracheostomy shortens duration of mechanical ventilation and length of stay after surgical decompression for stroke, but it did not impact mortality or VAP rates. A decision tree is a practical tool that may be helpful in guiding pre-operative decision-making with patients ’ families.
