Tracheotomy is definitely has the advantages we mentioned over the ETT but we never pick it as the initial way to provide mechanical ventilation except in very few indications where endotracheal intubation isn’t possible or contraindicated. Most of tracheotomy use is in those who require prolonged mechanical ventilation support
