The effect of concomitant factors on the survival of elderly patients with COVID-19 with tracheostomy

The article examines the NCI (new coronarovirus infection) from various sides. Particular attention is paid to concomitant pathology and other factors affecting the outcome of the disease. For the first time, the article formulates criteria for the readiness of elderly patients with a new coronavirus infection to perform a tracheostomy, taking into account the state of their respiratory system. Techniques of applying a tracheostomy are presented to avoid serious complications in patients with a new coronavirus infection. A protocol of modified surgical tracheostomy has been developed that takes into account the operation at an early date, only with bronchoscopic control only under anesthesia, only by well-trained personnel, with careful pre and postoperative care.
