Abstract

Introduction: Controversy continues to exist regarding the effects on ventilatory parameters
in patients undergoing tracheostomy, and studies in cases with SARS-CoV-2
are scarce. Objective: To describe changes in ventilatory parameters in patients
undergoing tracheostomy for SARS-CoV-2 in the intensive care unit. Methods: A
retrospective, descriptive, longitudinal study was carried out. Variables such as age,
sex, comorbidities, time of IOT, ventilatory parameters, blood gases and the Kirby
index were included.
