Impact of tracheostomy on clinical outcomes in ventilated patients with severe pneumonia: a propensity-matched cohort study
Tracheostomy in patients with severe pneumonia requiring prolonged MV significantly reduced the 90-day mortality rate, and early tracheostomy may offer additional benefits for resource utilization efficiency. These findings underscore the importance of considering tracheostomy timing in optimizing patient outcomes and healthcare resource allocation.
