    Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become one of the largest known epidemics in human history, affecting more than 233 million people worldwide


    COVID-19

    In a study published in Critical Care, an authoritative journal in the field of critical care medicine, researchers conducted a meta-analysis to assess the impact of early tracheostomy compared with late tracheostomy on outcomes in patients with COVID-19.


    From December 1, 2019, to August 24, 2021, researchers searched Medline, Embase, Cochrane and Scopus databases, as well as medRxiv, biORxiv and Research Square databases


    This meta-analysis included 14 studies with a total of 2371 tracheostomy patients with COVID-19


    CONCLUSIONS: The results of this meta-analysis suggest that early tracheostomy in COVID-19 patients is associated with shorter invasive mechanical ventilation and ICU stay compared with late tracheostomy, without changing patient death rate
