Design of assessment tool for unplanned endotracheal extubation of artificial airway patients
1Department of Neurosurgery, The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, China.
Aim:
Unplanned endotracheal extubation (UEE) is one of the most common adverse events reported in patients with artificial airway. Current research in UEE is mostly limited to the summary of risk factors and analysis of prevention strategies. The aim of the study was to develop an assessment tool for medical staff to assess the risk of unplanned extubation in endotracheal intubation patients.
Design:
The design was a qualitative study.
Methods:
Based on literature review, group discussion, pre-investigation, the initial risk assessment scale on unplanned extubation for endotracheal intubation patients was established. Fifteen experts from thirteen tertiary-A hospitals across eight provinces participated in two rounds of Delphi panel.
Results:
The risk assessment tool on unplanned extubation for endotracheal intubation patients was established by the Delphi method. It was composed of 11 indicators, which got agreement among two rounds panel.

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....
