The Effect of Silicone Foam Dressing and Repositioning on the Prevention of Endotracheal Tube-related Pressure Injuries

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Pressure Injury Prevention

In brief

The endotracheal tube is one of the medical devices most associated with pressure injuries related to medical devices. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of applying a silicone foam dressing over the endotracheal tube and repositioning the endotracheal tube in preventing endotracheal tube-related pressure injuries in patients receiving mechanical ventilation support.
