Sumario:The need of intubation and mechanical ventilation is associated with poor prognosis in COVID‐19 patients. Herein, we present two cases of patients with COVID‐19 where intubation and mechanical ventilation failed, and therefore, percutaneous dilatational tracheotomy was performed. The usage of PDT was associated with faster and better recovery in these patients.
