In most instances during the SARS outbreak, open tracheostomy was performed at the bedside in the ICU in negative-pressure rooms.5-8 This avoided unnecessary transport of patients and repeated connection and disconnection of ventilatory circuits during transfer. This book establishes the indications for the use of NIV in the context of weaning from invasive mechanical ventilation. Tracheostomy facilitated weaning from continuous intravenous sedation and mechanical ventilation. When elective tracheostomy is done, an inflated tracheostomy tube cuff via which pressure support ventilation can be delivered affords a closed system for controlled weaning of respiratory support. For patients with COVID-19, tracheotomies should be delayed at least 2-3 weeks to allow the clinical course to manifest and .

Objective: To determine the outcomes of patients undergoing tracheostomy for COVID-19 and of healthcare workers performing these procedures. The COVID-19 pandemic has cast a spotlight on ventilators—but few know much about what they do or how they work.. A ventilator pumps air—usually with extra oxygen—into patients' airways when they are unable to breathe adequately on their own. Appropriate clinical judgment in identifying patients with high likelihood of progressing to tracheostomy, such as those with multiple comorbidities or chronic respiratory conditions, and matching them to the most appropriate ICU room can help to reduce movement of patients within the ICU. c. As a rule, COVID-19 positive cases will NOT undergo tracheostomy unless there is a life-threatening situation that the tracheostomy has the potential to improve, such as upper airway obstruction with inability to intubate. 2021 May;278(5):1595-1604. doi: 10.1007/s00405-020-06187-1.

Acute Care Surgery is a comprehensive textbook covering the related fields of trauma, critical care, and emergency general surgery. This manual focuses on the availability and clinical use of oxygen therapy in children in health facilities by providing the practical aspects for health workers, biomedical engineers, and administrators. This may be achieved by (1) ensuring complete paralysis of the patient throughout the procedure to prevent coughing, (2) stopping mechanical ventilation just before entering into the trachea via tracheotomy, and (3) reducing the use of suction during the procedure.  VW, Khoo This is the first book to describe the clinical indications of NIV in patients who have been hospitalized with high-risk infections as well as in the prehospital management of mass casualty incidents, including chemical or biological ...
