“…UK Paediatric Intensive Care audit network database analysis shows that tracheostomy is performed infrequently in children admitted to PICU (2% of all admissions) and only 3.5% tracheostomised children had a cancer diagnosis . In the absence of any evidence‐based recommendations for indication and timing, tracheostomy for prolonged ventilatory support is often delayed due to risk of complications and 7‐22% risk of death of which 2% is attributed to tracheostomy . One‐third of clinicians in UK PICUs would delay tracheostomy because of worry about complications associated with tracheostomy .…”

[1][2][3] One-third of clinicians in UK PICUs would delay tracheostomy because of worry about complications associated with tracheostomy. 5 In a similar survey, 81% of Canadian PICU clinicians believe that risks of tracheostomy do not outweigh benefits.…”
