Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Every year, approximately 10-15 patients are admitted to the general intensive care unit at our institution who have been intubated for airway protection for various reasons, the main ones being soft tissue infection of the head/neck, anaphylaxis with airway edema, oral and maxillofacial/ENT surgery with airway threat, and head/neck injury with airway threat. Some patients are successfully extubated after the acute condition that caused the need for ventilation in the first place has passed, and some require tracheostomy for reasons related to the primary disease (unresolved edema, continued infectious process, need for additional invasive interventions, etc.) or for reasons related to difficulty in respiratory weaning (poor awakening, muscle weakness, development of respiratory infection, etc.).

We would like to examine whether it is possible to characterize certain parameters in the above patient population that are associated with a higher likelihood of requiring tracheostomy during hospitalization (such as age Adult). In these cases, we may consider performing the tracheostomy earlier.
