Abstract

Introduction: COVID19 and pulmonary dysfunction leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Case study presentation: Herein we presented the cases of failed intubation that was replaced by early percutaneous dilational tracheostomy. The procedure is safe for the patients, doctors and clinical staff. Conclusion: Additionally, we report mucormycosis after COVID19 treatment that was potentially due to immunosuppressive drugs. © 2021 The Authors
