Early vs. Late Tracheostomy in Patients With Guillain -Barre Syndrome

Recruiting
Conditions
Guillain Barre Syndrome
Mechanical Ventilation
Interventions
Procedure: early tracheostomy (less than 7 days from intubation)
Procedure: Late tracheostomy (more than 7 days from intubation)
Registration Number
NCT06612242
Lead Sponsor
Meir Medical Center
Brief Summary

Tracheostomy is one of the most common procedures in the intensive care unit in patients who need prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation. There is controversy in the literature regarding the ideal timing for performing tracheostomy in critically ill patients. Early tracheostomy may be associated with a decrease in ventilation days and hospitalization. We would like to investigate whether in ventilated patients with Guillain Barre syndrome, early tracheostomy will be associated with decreased ventilation days, decreased mortality and shorter hospital and ICU length of stay.
