One-Year Outcomes of Patients Requiring Tracheostomy Placement Due to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Infection.

COVID-19 has resulted in a significant burden of acute critical illness and acute respiratory failure with the need for tracheostomy. A significant percentage of patients with SARS-CoV-2 requiring tracheostomy were alive and at home 1 year after tracheostomy placement. Long-term care support, including tracheostomy, beyond 90 days appears to be beneficial in this patient population and warrants further investigation.
