A comparison of methods used to secure pediatric endotracheal tubes using a live human dermal model.
Endotracheal intubation is a common lifesaving procedure. An in situ endotracheal tube (ETT) must be secured in position to avoid displacement and potentially life-threatening complications. Adhesive tapes form the most common intraoperative ETT stabilization methods. Limited published data are available to guide the clinical decision regarding ETT taping method. We performed an interventional study aiming to establish which of many commonly employed ETT tape/supplementary adhesive methods provides the most resistance to ETT distraction. ⋯ There are significant differences in force required to distract an ETT based on taping methods.
