Résumé
The timing of tracheostomy for intensive care unit patients is controversial, with conflicting findings on early versus late tracheostomy. Patients undergoing tracheostomy from 2001through 2012 were identified from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-III database. Early tracheostomy was defined as less than the 25th percentile of time from intensive care unit admission to tracheostomy (time to tracheostomy). Statistical analysis for tracheostomy timing on intensive care unit length of stay and mortality were conducted. Of the 1,566 patients that were included, patients with early tracheostomy had shorter intensive care unit length of stay (27.32 Our analysis revealed that patients with early tracheostomy were more likely to have shorter intensive care unit lengths of stay and lower mortality. Our data suggest that early tracheostomy should be given strong consideration in appropriately selected patients.
