The Effect of Surgical Incision Drep Use in Endotracheal Tube Fixation
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
It is aimed to minimise both unplanned extubation and skin damage with the surgical incision drep that we will use to fix the endotracheal tube in neonatal preterm infants and to reduce the complications that may develop due to these events. In addition, it is aimed to evaluate the relationship between these parameters by using devices measuring skin moisture, skin pH and Neonatal Skin Condition Assessment Scale in experimental and control groups.
