Abstract

The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the endotracheal tube securement by AnchorFast and by adhesive tape in Invasive mechanically ventilated patients. This was a randomised control intervention study, the study showed that in 60 patients divided into 2 groups, none of the patients who had with the AnchorFast device had an unintended deviation or endotracheal tube slip. Meanwhile, in the adhesive tape group the rate of endotracheal tube deviation was 7/30 (23.3%) and of unintended extubation was 1/30 (3.3%). The rate of ulcer in the adhesive tape of 10/30 (33.3%), in the AnchorFast of 4/30 (13.3%). In particular, the ulcer point in AnchorFast was found in tongue of 3/30 (10%) and lips of 1/30 (3.33%), mainly in stage I of 3/30 (10%) and stage II of 1/30 (3.33%). In the adhesive tape group, the ulcer was located on tongue of 4/30 (13,33%) and lips of 6/30 (20%), at stage I of 7/30 (23.33%), at stage II of 3/30 (10%). The study showed that the effectiveness of intubation securement by AnchorFast device was higher than that of the group using adhesive tape in terms of unintended tube deviation and endotracheal tube slip. The ulcer rate of the group of AnchorFast was lower than group of adhesive tape tube fixation.
