Tracheostomy timing and clinical outcomes in ventilated COVID-19 patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Yun JiYumin FangLiang MaLibin LiXiangming FangPublished in: Critical care (London, England) (2022)
The results of this meta-analysis suggest that, compared with late tracheostomy, early tracheostomy in COVID-19 patients was associated with shorter duration of IMV and ICU stay without modifying the mortality rate. These findings may have important implications to improve ICU availability during the COVID-19 pandemic. Trial registration The protocol was registered at INPLASY (INPLASY202180088).
