Abstract
Endotracheal intubation is an urgent procedure which is performed on patients who are unconscious and can’t breathe by their own. Endotracheal Intubation keeps an airway open and helps to prevent chocking. When the patient is intubated, maintaining the endotracheal tube placement is essential. In case Endotracheal Tube is not secured, even basic nursing management can cause tubing slippage which is a major factor in causing airway trauma or injuries Aim: To assess the effect of Twill Technique vs Endotracheal Tube Holder on Endotracheal Tube Securement [ETTS] Outcomes among orally intubated patients admitted in ICUs. Methodology: A post-test only control group design (two experimental groups) was used to assess the effect of Twill Technique vs Endotracheal Tube Holder on Endotracheal Tube Securement [ETTS] Outcomes among orally intubated patients. Results: The findings showed that for general assessment, it was found that statistically significant results were found between two experimental groups in GCS on day 2 (p=0.017), in P/F ratio on day1 (p=0.004). But most of the observations were statistically non-significant. Conclusion: Hence, Endotracheal Tube Holder can be recommended for Endotracheal Tube security in clinical practice.
