Abstract

Tracheotomies are commonly performed for the patients with low GCS who needs a respiratory support. Still over the period there existed a controversy when to do tracheotomy ?  Early or late. Our study aimed at reassessing the complications of delayed tracheotomy versus the advantages of the early tracheostomy. This was a prospective comparative, observational study comprising of 140 patients in 2 different hospitals admitted to the neurosurgery ICU with poor GCS. Group A: Early tracheostomy (2-5 days) and Group B: Late tracheostomy (7-14 days). Both groups were followed ,Early tracheostomy required a mechanical ventilator support for average  5-8 days with early weaning  whereas late tracheostomy required 12-20 days of mechanical
