In this retrospective multicentre cohort study that included 27 COVID-19 patients who underwent tracheostomy, the mean time between intubation and tracheostomy was 15.8 days and the negative conversion time of COVID-19 was 43.1 days. Eleven patients (40.7%) died of COVID-19 and the use of percutaneous dilatation tracheostomy was significantly associated with in-hospital death. Timely tracheostomy could be performed in COVID-19 patients, regardless of duration of intubation or positivity of COVID-19 test, with an open surgical tracheostomy as a preferable technique.
在这项回顾性多中心队列研究中，纳入了27例接受气管切开术的新冠肺炎患者，插管至气管切开术的平均时间为15.8天，新冠肺炎核酸转阴时间为43.1天。11例患者（40.7%）死于新冠肺炎，经皮扩张气管切开术的使用与院内死亡显著相关。新冠肺炎患者无论插管时间长短或新冠病毒检测结果如何，均可及时进行气管切开术，开放式外科气管切开术是更可取的技术。
