Under (less) pressure – Facial pressure ulcer development in ventilated ICU patients: A prospective comparative study comparing two types of endotracheal tube fixations

The development of medical device-related pressure ulcers (MDR PUs) as a result of an endotracheal tube fixator (ETTF) use affects patients particularly in the intensive care unit (ICU). Prospective comparative study followed two similar groups of ventilated ICU patients: Group A treated with cloth...

Description
Summary:The development of medical device-related pressure ulcers (MDR PUs) as a result of an endotracheal tube fixator (ETTF) use affects patients particularly in the intensive care unit (ICU). Prospective comparative study followed two similar groups of ventilated ICU patients: Group A treated with cloth tape ETTF (CT-ETTF) and Group B treated with Anchorfast Hollister-ETTF (AH-ETTF). Data were collected regarding PU development, location, grade, time from intubation and hospitalisation. Significant differences in PU development (p
