Overview
Tracheostomy is one of the most common procedures in intensive care units. Post-tracheostomy increased body temperature within 24 hours is common. However, frequently sepsis workup is performed along with initiation of broad spectrum antibiotic therapy. We will investigate the incidence of post tracheostomy fever and whether retrospectively the increased temperature indicated development of sepsis or not. The study is retrospective and will be based on data collection.
