OpenAlex İngilizce

Endotracheal intubation is frequently administered to patients with respiratory failure in intensive care units in order to provide patients with artificial ventilation.Following the recovery from the medical situation that requires the intubation of the patient, the endotracheal tube should be removed.However sometimes it is removed deliberately or accidentally in an untimely manner and outside medical reasons.This situation, which is defined as unplanned extubation, is an important indication of patient care quality and patient security.Intensive care nurses who are responsible for the close observation and care of patients have important responsibilities in preventing unplanned extubation.
