An endotracheal tube (ETT) is generally intended for short-term use, typically up to 7-14 days. If prolonged airway management is needed beyond this period, a tracheostomy should be considered to reduce complications such as airway injury, infection, and difficulty in secretion management. The decision to transition to a tracheostomy also depends on the patient's overall condition and the expected duration of mechanical ventilation.

How long should the chanukah lights be burning for?

Chanukah lights need to burn for at least 1/2 hour after sunset. So, you can light earlier (e.g. on Friday when you need to light before Shabbat) as long as they are big enough candles or sufficient oil to remain lit for 30 minutes after sunset.
