Description

Percutaneous tracheostomy in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) includes the use of complete neuromuscular paralysis to minimize the cough reflex and involves periods of apnea when the ventilatory circuit is considered to be open. The procedure requires a highly specialized team that minimizes the number of personnel needed and the use of full personal protective equipment (PPE).
