Evaluation of nasogastric tube fixation methods: adhesion, displacement and skin integrity

to evaluate three methods of nasogastric tube fixation in terms of adhesion, displacement and skin integrity. ex vivo study, with a sample of 30 experimental noses (10 for each type of fixation), developed with porcine skin, based on the average measurements of the human nose, in which 14-gauge poly...

Description
Summary:to evaluate three methods of nasogastric tube fixation in terms of adhesion, displacement and skin integrity. ex vivo study, with a sample of 30 experimental noses (10 for each type of fixation), developed with porcine skin, based on the average measurements of the human nose, in which 14-gauge polyvinyl chloride probes were inserted and 2 methods of fixation with adhesive tape (Fixation A and B) and one with an industrial device (Fixation C) were used. Each group was exposed to traction of 50, 100 and 500g sequentially over 12 and 24 hours, testing: adhesion capacity, probe displacement and skin integrity. The Chi-square test of independence was calculated for nominal variables and Student's t-tests and analysis of variance (p< 0.05) for rational variables. fixation B showed lower adhesion capacity (p
