NCT06832553

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • demographic data

    It will consist of questions such as gestational week, birth weight, postnatal age, frequency of endotracheal tube re-fixation, reason for hospitalization, frequency of aspiration, mode of delivery, gender, phototherapy status, antibiotic status, sedative use, analgesic use, ventilator mode.

    through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • skin ph meter and skin moisture meter

    through study completion, an average of 1 year

Other Outcomes (2)

  • Newborn Skin Condition Assessment Scale

    through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • unplanned extubation

    through study completion, an average of 1 year

Study Arms (2)

Surgical Incision Drape

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in this group will have their endotracheal tube (ETT) secured using a surgical incision drape. This method will be evaluated for its efficacy in preventing unplanned extubation and wound complications compared to the use of silk plasters.

Other: surgical incision drep

silk plasters

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The endotracheal tube (ETT) of the participants in this group will be secured using silk plasters. This method will be evaluated for its efficacy in preventing unplanned extubation and wound complications compared to the use of a surgical incision drape.

Other: surgical incision drep

Interventions

To compare the efficacy of surgical incision with silk plaster in ETT fixation.
