ImpactModerate impact

The conversations reflect recognition that the study could influence ICU practices, citing potential for protocol improvements and patient safety enhancements.

Abstract in brief

  • The study analyzed unplanned extubations (UEs) in an Italian ICU over nine years and found that 2.34% of patients intubated for more than 24 hours experienced UEs, mainly self-extubations.
  • Most UEs (94%) were self-induced by patients, with accidental extubations being rare (2%), and no deaths occurred due to UEs.
  • Implementing a standardized tube management and fixation protocol appeared effective in keeping UEs rates low, aligning with the lower end of rates reported in scientific literature.]
