Crit Care Med 2004 32 1689-1694 1 . Hypothesis In the critically ill medical patients who are projected to require ventilation for 14 days early percutaneous tracheostomy within 48 hours of intubation offers significant survival advantage as well as decreased morbidity when compared with prolonged translaryngeal intubation delayed tracheostomy 14-16 days after intubation. Methods Design Prospective randomized trial. Setting Closed medical intensive care units of three academic medical centers in Memphis Tennessee and Tampa Florida. Subjects All patients in the three medical ICUs who were intubated and mechanically ventilated for acute respiratory failure were screened and included if they were 18 years old projected to need mechanical ventilation 14 days and had an initial APACHE II score 25. Specific exclusion criteria were established to ensure the safe performance of percutaneous tracheostomy .
