چکیده
Methods Observational study of a cohort of patients admitted to ICU during 2012, requiring elective tracheostomy (TQ), according with the actual technique protocol. Demographic variables were analysed, Apache II scale, previous pathologies, MV days, stay and mortality; globally and by groups depending on early or late TQ. In our model, patients were divided into early and late TQ, using the fourteenth day as a cutoff. Recent evidence recommends waiting 10 days to confirm the need for TQ. The study was approved under the rules of the Ethics Research Commettee.
