Patients with obstructive sleep apnea may have a higher risk of acute post-tracheostomy complications that might be due to the patient population at risk for obstructive sleep apnea. Patients with obstructive pulmonary pathologies such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder did not have an elevated risk of complications which is clinically significant when considering the utility of ventilation and tracheostomy in the management of acute respiratory failure secondary to these conditions.
