FIGURE 1
The optimized procedures of tracheostomy step by step for COVID‐19 patients. Each tracheostomy was evaluated by intensive care physicians and otolaryngologists before operations. The patients have been confirmed SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, and accepted an orotracheal intubation for more than 2 weeks, and not suitable for percutaneous tracheostomy. Their condition is basically stable, and the blood oxygen saturation is maintained above 90% [Color figure can be viewed at http://wileyonlinelibrary.com]
