About

Objective of this case series was to evaluate the characteristics of early COVID-19 tracheostomy and its effect on laboratory parameters. A series of 17 patients with COVID-19undergo surgical tracheostomy in our intensive care unit. Demographic parameters, duration indicators, and laboratory parameters before and after tracheostomy were analyzed in patients. Of the 17 patients, 4 were men and 13 women with a mean age of 59 years. The average length of total hospitalization were 12 days, the length of stay in intensive care were 10 days, the length of endotracheal intubation were 9 days, with the seventh day of tracheotomy. Neurological and thyroid diseases and withdrawal had a statistically significant difference (p <0.05), with laboratory parameters without statistically difference. Critically ill COVID-19 patients undergoing early tracheostomy has a lower possibility of weaning from mechanical ventilation, and early tracheostomy itself has no significant effect on renal parameters, lactate and D-Dimer.
