Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) has largely replaced surgical tracheostomy in the intensive care unit settings. Many authors have shown that PDT can be performed in the ICU, more rapidly, at a lower cost, and with less morbidity than open tracheostomy. Currently, longer term data are becoming available and authors are reporting few complications including lower rates of tracheal stenosis, when compared to open tracheostomy. This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the patients who had a bedside percutaneous tracheostomy before 10 days from those who had it after 10 days from connection to mechanical ventilation regarding mean ICU stay, hospital stay and complications
