The Effect of Three Different Nasogastric Tube Fixation Materials on Pressure Injury

"Patients determined by randomization method were divided into three groups. Patient Information Form, 'Patient Follow-up Form', 'Glasgow Coma Scale' and 'Braden Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment Scale' were applied to the patients in the transparent waterproof flaster group, one of the experimental groups. Nasogastric tube care was applied at 24-hour intervals. The dorsum of the nose was first cleaned with saline and then disinfected with a skin antiseptic containing alcohol and chlorhexidine gluconate. Afterwards, a transparent waterproof flaster was applied. The transparent waterproof flaster was prepared using the nasal preparation by pants tape method technique. Afterwards, the Patient Follow-up Form, Glasgow Coma Scale and Braden Pressure Injury Risk Diagnostic Scale were re-administered by the investigator at 72 hours and at discharge. If pressure injury developed, the Nasogastric Tube-Related Pressure Injury Staging Form was completed."

"Patients determined by randomization method were divided into three groups. Patient Information Form, 'Patient Follow-up Form', 'Glasgow Coma Scale' and 'Braden Pressure Wound Risk Assessment Scale' were administered to the patients in the control group, which was in the elastic flaster group. Nasogastric tube care was applied at 24-hour intervals. The dorsum of the nose was first cleaned with saline and then disinfected with a skin antiseptic containing alcohol and chlorhexidine gluconate. Afterwards, an elastic flaster was applied. The elastic flaster was prepared using the preparation of the nose by the pants tape method technique.
