Critically ill covid-19 patients may require respiratory support including mechanical ventilation. After an initial period with an endotracheal tube, a tracheotomy is performed in order to reduce potential airway complications, reduce the need of sedation and facilitate the monitoring and recovery. The optimal timing of this surgical procedure is, however, still unknown. The aim of this randomized, controlled trial is to compare the outcome of early (within 7 days after intubation) vs late (at least 10 days after intubation) tracheotomy in covid-19 patients. The need for mechanical ventilation, sedation, additional oxygen support, frequency of complications, duration at the ICU and mortality through the ICU stay will be evaluated and compared.
