AbstractDuring invasive ventilatory support, infants and children are inherently at risk for developing injury or complications related to the insertion and maintenance of an endotracheal tube (ETT). It is essential for respiratory therapists to understand the factors that contribute to the propensity for harm while preparing for, inserting, securing, and maintaining the position of an ETT throughout the duration of use. Implementing care bundles based on the available literature is useful in reducing iatrogenic complications as well as the risk for morbidity and mortality of pediatric patients requiring an ETT to facilitate respiratory support.Copyright © 2022 by Daedalus Enterprises.
