Abstract

COVID-19 is an unprecedented pandemic presenting unique challenges. It has been recommended that COVID-19 patients either not receive a tracheostomy or delay it until they are no longer COVID-19 positive, and if they receive one that it be conducted as an open tracheostomy. We describe an approach to safely perform percutaneous tracheostomy in COVID-19 patients.

Keywords: Percutaneous Tracheostomy; COVID-19
