Securely positioning endotracheal and gastric tubes is crucial for burn patients. A simple modification prevents ear compression, reducing risks of necrosis and infection.

Area of Science:

Medical Devices
Patient Safety
Burn Care

Background:

Securement of endotracheal and gastric tubes is vital for burn patients.
Improper tube securement can lead to complications like ear necrosis and infection.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a modified technique for securing orally or nasally placed tubes.
To prevent complications associated with standard tube securement methods in burn patients.

Main Methods:

A simple modification to existing tube securement techniques is described.
The technique focuses on avoiding direct pressure on the ear.

Main Results:

The described modification effectively secures endotracheal and gastric tubes.
