Abstract: Objective To explore the causes of complications of tracheotomy and precautionary measures. Methods Clinical data of 1,063 patients who underwent tracheostomy were retrospectively reviewed. Results The overall rate of complication was 2.73%, including bleeding in 13 cases (1.22%), casing out in 6 cases (0.56), subcutaneous emphysema in 4 cases (0.38%), intraoperative suffocation in 2 cases (0.188%), pneumomediastinum in 1 case (0.094%), drug allergy in 1 case (0.094%), and tracheoesophageal laceration in 1 case (0.094%). One patient died during operation due to pneumothorax. Conclusion There are various sorts of complications of tracheotomy and the causes are complicated.
