EFFECT OF ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE DETECTION ON PRESSURE

This study was conducted to examine the effect of two different tube detection on pressure wound formation in the intensive care unit. The search was carried out with a total of 60 patients that 30 of 60 them are interventions and 30 of 60 as experiments, who were hospitalized in the anesthesia and reanimation intensive care unit of an Educational Research Hospital. The 60 patients who made up the sample were assigned 2 groups using a computer program that produced random numbers. For the purpose of the study, the groups were encoded as groups A and B, and each group was tested with two different endotracheal tube detection methods which was applied to the patients in the groups. Data from the study were collected using the introductory and clinical features form, the braden pressure wound risk diagnostic scale, the pressure ulcer recovery assessment scale, the international pressure wound staging system, and the eilers oral assessment guide. Patients in both groups were monitored for four days for oral presure injury. During this process, the tube detection of both groups was changed every 24 hours, and the tubes were repositioned every 4 hours. At the end of the fourth day, wound assesments of patients who developed pressure wounds were performed by using the international pressure staging system and the pressure ulcer recovery assessment scale. Relatives of the patients who were scheduled to conduct the study were informed about the study by oral and written and their consent was obtained.

Treatment and study plan

ENDOTRAKEAL TUBE HOLDER

Other

During this process, the tube detection of endotracheal tube holder was changed every 24 hours, and the tubes were repositioned every 4 hours. On the first day of the study, the oral mucosa of patients in this group was evaluated by the eliers oral evaluation guide.Then, with the Braden pressure wound risk diagnostic scale, patients ' Pressure Wound risk assessment was performed. Patients in this group were monitored for four days for oral pressure wound as of the day they were intubated. During this process, patients ' tube holder was changed every 24 hours and the tube was repositioned every 4 hours. At the end of the fourth day, wound evaluation of patients who developed pressure wounds was performed using the international pressure wound staging system and pressure ulcer Recovery Assessment Scale. In addition, pressure wounds of patients who developed pressure wounds were treated in accordance with the recommendation of a plastic surgeon.

Primary outcomes

  1. BANDAGE

    Time frame: At the end of the 4th day, the wound evaluation of the patients who developed pressure ulcers was made with the International Staging System for Pressure Injuries and The Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing.

    It was determined that the bandage method was better than the ETT method in terms of both the pressure ulcer risk score difference and the tendency to fall, dislocate or remain stable

  2. ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE HOLDER

    Time frame: At the end of the 4th day, the wound evaluation of the patients who developed pressure ulcers was made with the International Staging System for Pressure Injuries and The Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing.

    It was determined that the bandage method was better than the ETT method in terms of both the pressure ulcer risk score difference and the tendency to fall, dislocate or remain stable
