First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how often and why tracheostomy (a breathing tube placed in the neck) is used in adult intensive care units in Izmir, Turkey. Researchers checked 282 patients across 11 ICUs on a single day and found 46 had a tracheostomy. They recorded reasons for delays, techniques used, and short-term outcomes. The goal was to understand real-world decision-making, not to test a new treatment.
