Tracheostomy is a common procedure used by a wide variety of surgeons. Complications after tracheostomy have been used as a rationale for prolonging a translaryngeal intubation. Understanding the pathogenesis of tracheostomy complications combined with meticulous surgical and perioperative management avoids the majority of complications. The remaining complications are readily managed and should not provide a rationale for denying intubated patients the benefits of tracheostomy.
气管切开术是多种外科医生常用的一种手术。气管切开术后的并发症一直被用作延长经喉插管时间的一个理由。了解气管切开术并发症的发病机制，并结合细致的手术和围手术期管理，可避免大多数并发症。其余并发症易于处理，不应成为拒绝为插管患者提供气管切开术益处的理由。
