Early tracheostomy did not significantly reduce 30-day mortality in severe stroke patients.
Mortality was 50% in both early and late tracheostomy groups, indicating no outcome difference.
The early tracheostomy group had an average ICU stay of 12.07 days compared to 18.43 days for the late group.
This study suggests that early tracheostomy might offer logistical benefits in managing severely ill stroke patients.

Randomized controlled trial shows similar mortality but less ICU stay for early tracheostomy group.

Kumar et al. (2025) studied this question.
