Official Title: Impact of Endotracheal Tube Fixation Methods on Tube Displacement During Pron Position
Brief Summary:
In particular, prone position surgeries risk potentially life-threatening ET tube dislocation.Failure to place the plaster used for ET tube fixation correctly and adequately in this position may contaminate the patch with body fluids and loosen the weight of the breathing circuit, causing the ET tube to slip and dislodge.Adhesive tape (plaster), bandage (non-adhesive), suturing, or a commercially available tube holding device are recommended for ET tube fixation in patients operated in the prone position.In…
