Unplanned extubation, a risk during endotracheal intubation in intensive care units, can be analyzed using a quality improvement tool. This method helps nurses identify at-risk patients and assess care quality.

Area of Science:

Critical Care Medicine
Nursing Quality Improvement
Patient Safety

Background:

Unplanned extubation is a frequent complication in intensive care units (ICUs).
It occurs despite continuous patient monitoring, posing risks to patient recovery.
Assessing the quality of care surrounding these events is crucial for prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a structured method for analyzing unplanned extubations.
To enable critical care nurses to evaluate the quality of care provided.
To identify patient characteristics associated with increased risk of unplanned extubation.

Main Methods:

Development of a data collection tool to analyze unplanned extubations.
Focus on incidence, structure, process, and outcome as quality indicators.
