The concept of early tracheostomy (5-7 days) in patients requiring long-term mechanical ventilation has been supported by several lines of evidence in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and ARDS [12, 13] . In addition, early tracheostomy decreases the rate of respiratory infections and used antibiotics in trauma patients [12, 13] . In addition, critically ill patients with COVID-19 infection and ARDS benefit from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) according to the recently published data from China [17] . In conclusion, based on the published evidence and our previous experience in trauma patients, we postulate that early tracheostomy could be associated with improved outcome in patients with COVID-19 and ADRS experiencing traumatic injuries.	./cache/cord-322725-fjd7cbvb.txt	./txt/cord-322725-fjd7cbvb.txt
