Abstract

Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics, outcomes, and complications after tracheostomy in critically ill adult patients with COVID-19. Methods: We performed a retrospective study on critically ill patients with COVID-19 in the Intensive Care Center for Treating Critically Ill Patients with COVID-19 operated by Bach Mai Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City between September and October 2021. Results: Of 17 patients, 64.7% (11/17) were female, and 70.1% (12/17) were 50 or older. Common comorbidities included hypertension (41.2%; 7/17) and diabetes mellitus (35.3%; 6/17). Most patients had a late tracheostomy (70.6%; 12/17), and only 5/17 (29.4%) had an early tracheostomy. The method for performing tracheostomy was the open surgical technique (100%; 17/17). All healthcare staff wore a piece of personal protective equipment (PPE), an N95 respirator mask, and a protective face shield, and no healthcare staff was infected with COVID-19 by patients. Complications after tracheostomy included dislodged tracheostomy tube (1/17; 5.9%) and subcutaneous emphysema (1/17; 5.9%). Hospital all-cause mortality was 70.1% (12/17). Conclusion: Our study showed that the mean age of critically ill adult patients with COVID-19 was relatively high. The most common documented comorbidities included hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Complications after tracheostomy were rare, but hospital all-cause mortality was very high.
