The data collection were included the following parameters; emergency or elective tracheostomy procedures, and according to their particular indications, as well as were performed under general or local anaesthesia, all the fore mentioned data were evaluated and analyzed in correlation with the frequency and the severity of various elements of early complications. Results: There were (63.4%) males and (36.6%) females, with mean age of 46.851 years, about (56.25%) were emergency tracheostomies, and (43.75%) were elective type, in (54.46%) of them the indication was to relief upper air way obstruction. The overall frequency of an early complications in emergency tracheostomy was (30.35%), and was (8.92%) in elective modality. The commonest early complications was bleeding (11.6 %), followed by tubal obstruction (8.03%). Conclusion: The frequency of the overall early complications of open surgical tracheostomy was detected at higher rate in emergency than in elective procedures, also the most common element of the early tracheostomy complication encountered was bleeding and being primarily revealed in an emergency indicated tracheostomy, followed tubal obstruction with more existing frequency in elective tracheostomy cases | ||
