Abstract

BACKGROUND: Airway obstruction is a common emergency in acute burns with high mortality. Tracheostomy is the most effective method to keep patency of airway and start mechanical ventilation. However, the indication of tracheostomy is challenging and controversial. We aimed to develop and validate a deployable machine learning (ML)-based decision support system to predict the necessity of tracheostomy for acute burn patients.
