Abstract

Background

The question of an optimal strategy and outcomes in COVID-19 tracheostomy has not been answered yet. The critical focus in our case study is to evaluate the outcomes of tracheostomy on intubated COVID-19 patients.

Methods

A multicentric prospective observational study of 1890 COVID-19 patients undergoing tracheostomy across 120 hospitals was conducted over 7 weeks in Spain (March 28 to May 15, 2020). Data were collected with an innovative approach: instant messaging via WhatsApp. Outcome measurements: complications, achieved weaning and decannulation and survival.

Results

We performed 1,461 surgical (81.3%) and 429 percutaneous tracheostomies. Median timing of tracheostomy was 12 days (4–42 days) since orotracheal intubation. A close follow-up of 1616/1890 (85.5%) patients at the cut-off time of 1-month follow-up showed that in 842 (52.1%) patients, weaning was achieved, while 391 (24.2%) were still under mechanical ventilation and 383 (23.7%) patients had died from COVID-19. Decannulation among those in whom weaning was successful (n = 842) was achieved in 683 (81%) patients.

Conclusion

To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest cohort of COVID-19 patients undergoing tracheostomy. The critical focus is the unprecedented amount of tracheostomies: 1890 in 7 weeks. Weaning could be achieved in over half of the patients with follow-up. Almost one out of four tracheotomized patients died from COVID-19.

COPD und nicht-invasive Behandlungsmethoden

Content Hub

Nicht-medikamentöse Behandlungsmethoden wie die nicht-invasive Beatmung (NIV) können die Leistungsfähigkeit und Lebensqualität von COPD-Patienten erheblich verbessern und das Sterberisiko senken. Die NIV-Therapie zur Behandlung von fortgeschrittener COPD hat Eingang in die neuen S2k-Leitlinien zur COPD-Therapie gefunden.

Geringere Therapieabbruchquoten durch digitale Therapiebegleitung

Ärzte profitieren von digitaler Therapiebegleitung ihrer NIV-Patienten durch einen verlässlichen Partner, weil diese sich besser versorgt fühlen und die Therapie weniger häufig abbrechen. Das entlastet das Gesundheitssystem und schwer Erkrankte gewinnen Lebensqualität.

Auch für ältere Patienten empfiehlt sich nicht-invasive Langzeitbeatmung

Nicht-invasive Beatmung ist für Menschen mit chronisch hyperkapnisch respiratorischer Insuffizienz eine bewährte Therapie. Eine Schweizer Studie untersuchte die Auswirkungen der Beatmung auf über 75-Jährige und belegt nun deren Wirksamkeit.
