Prolonged intubation vs. tracheotomy: Complications, practical and psychological considerations

The charts of 52 adult patients who underwent tracheotomy (49 after intubation) were reviewed to identify early complications of both endotracheal intubation and tracheotomy. The complication rate of endotracheal intubation was 57%, and of tracheotomy, 14%. None of the complications of tracheotomy was serious.
