The recent COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic is causing an increase in the number
of patients who, due to their pulmonary ventilatory status, may require
orotracheal intubation. COVID-19 infection has demonstrated a high rate of
transmissibility, especially via the respiratory tract and by droplet spread. The
Spanish Society of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, based on the article
by Wei et al. of 2003 regarding tracheotomies performed due to severe acute
respiratory syndrome (SARS), has made a series of recommendations for the safe
performance of tracheotomies.
