In their retrospective analysis, Colbert et al1 propose tracheostomy insertion as a trigger for reconsidering care goals in critically ill patients with respiratory failure. The study of short-term outcomes and decision-making processes surrounding tracheostomies highlights the significant mortality rate in this population and the high likelihood of discharge to care facilities, rather than home. The data, consistent with Pandian et al’s2 study, serve as a reminder of the uncertain prognosis of critically ill patients and emphasize the need for early discussions about goals of care; however, managing critically ill patient populations is multifaceted. Patient mortality and discharge status are just two of several factors that inform decisions around tracheostomy and subsequent care. Because goals and clinical course are fluid, ongoing patient or family engagement is needed throughout care.
