re: New study out about intubation and extubation for Covid

Decision-making for tracheostomy in COVID patients is not quite the same as in non-COVID patients. We hadn't really established guidelines for this until well into April. Many of our critical care colleagues frequently consult us to sort through this, particularly in LA as many of our patients have social circumstances and comorbidities that make the decision more difficult than trachs prior to the COVID-era. This is just an observational study pointing out some of the commonalities we deal with to help establish a decision-making tree for these difficult decisions. Most journals of our subspecialty use the term Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery rather than ENT.
