Abstract

The present paper reports four cases of pediatric patients who underwent tracheostomy after COVID-19 infection. The common features of these patients were not only prolonged intubation also have significant comorbidities. Tracheostomy was well tolerated by all patients and resulted in improved outcomes. Although tracheostomy is an old surgical procedure there is not enough experience on COVID-19 patients in terms of indications, technique, and actual timing. We presented a single-center experience and discussed the management of COVID-19 pediatric patients with preexisting comorbidities who are candidates for a surgical tracheostomy.

Key words: COVID-19, Tracheostomy, Pediatric
