Effects of Endotracheal Tube Fixation Methods on Hemodynamic Parameters During Endotracheal Suction

"When the study started, the first 43 patients were assigned to the control group and the following 43 patients were assigned to the study group in the CVS ICU. ET fixation in the control group was performed with plasters, which are routinely used in the ICU where the study was conducted. ET fixation of the patients in the study group was performed with an ET holder (AnchorFast Oral Endotracheal Tube Fastener, Hollister, Liberlyville, USA) when they arrived at the CVS ICU.~The patients' SBP, DBP, HR and SpO2 values, which were displayed on the bedside monitor (Nihon Kohden, Tokyo), were recorded on the Hemodynamic Parameters Form just before, during, and at the end of endotracheal suction, and in the following 5th and 15th minutes."
