Percutaneous tracheostomy procedures and patient results in a tertiary intensive care unit: A single-center experience.

ABSTRACT: The ideal timing for tracheostomy in patients undergoing prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) in the intensive care unit (ICU) remains controversial. The present study aimed to provide an overview of the timing of percutaneous dilation tracheostomy performed in the ICU over a 5-year period, and the effect of this procedure on 28-day mortality. The study included patients who underwent early (≤14 days) (n = 112) and late (>14 days) (n = 171) tracheostomy during their follow-up in the ICU between 2018 and 2023. It is a single-center retrospective study. The diagnoses, comorbidities, MV duration, tracheostomy timing, tracheostomy indications, tracheostomy complications, ICU length of stay, hospital length of stay, extubation attempts, mortality, time to decannulation, and ICU discharge locat
