In an interesting comparison between equivalent ICUs in the United States and Norway, Martin and Mathisen (11) found that restraints, heavy sedation, and inadvertent tracheal extubation were fairly common events in the United States, whereas restraint and inadvertent tracheal extubation were rare in Norway and sedative medication was used far less often. The Dale[R] Stabilock[TM] Endotracheal Tube Holder stabilizes 7- to 10-mm tubes following intubation to help prevent extubation, especially during patient transport. Four of the 6 survivors required repeated episodes of extubation and reintubation before being permanently extubated. |
