access for secretion removal, avoidance of serious

oropharyngeal and laryngeal injury from prolonged translaryngeal intubation

ACCP guidelines suggest that tracheostomy should be considered after an initial period of stabilization on the ventilator (generally, within 3–7 days), when it becomes apparent that the patient will require prolonged ventilator assistance
