Tracheotomy has several benefits in the patient receiving mechanical respiratory support. The
Implications for Reimbursement for Patients Receiving Mechanical Ventilation
An appropriate reimbursement system for patients on mechanical respiratory support should be based on goals that it: (1) encourage appropriate quality of patient care; (2) encompass all patients; and (3) avoid over/underutilization of health care resources.

2023, Auris Nasus LarynxCitation Excerpt :Consequently, the potential improvement of outcomes caused by implementation of tracheostomy in COVID-19 patients has been investigated and described in several case series since the outbreak of the pandemic [16,17,28,29]. Conventional international consensus recommends MV via translaryngeal endotracheal intubation for patients with an expected MV duration <10 days and transition to tracheostomy for those with an expected MV duration of >21 days [30]. As numerous reports have shown that early tracheostomy is associated with improved patient outcomes [6,31], tracheostomy is widely considered to be performed within 1–2 weeks after MV initiation in critical care settings [32–34].
