Unlabelled:
The objective was to analyze results of the incidence of accidental extubation associated with nursing care.
Method:
Retrospective observational study, the intervention ahead, measured before and after the deployment of a guide extubations accidental The population of 142 patients, 72 patients in the retrospective phase and 70 in phase ahead, totaling 3771 days of ventilation. Data collected from prontuários.
Results:
52.78% used tracheal tube and 62% were between 71 and 90 years with an average of days of ventilation of 26.5 days,. There were six (3.27) extubations before and two (1.03) after the deployment of guia. CONCLUSION, there was a decrease in the incidence of accidental extubation in the period studied, but one can not attribute this difference to the guide because other studies are needed.

Endotracheal Tube Extubation
Procedure
Extubation removes the endotracheal tube (ETT) from the patient on mechanical ventilation. It requires a well-coordinated, multidisciplinary approach involving physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare professionals.
Endotracheal Intubation I: Procedure
The ET tube comprises various components, including a standard adaptor to attach a bag-valve-mask (BVM) or ventilator, a cuff, a pilot balloon, and radiopaque markings along its length to measure the insertion distance. The tube sizes...
