Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the current condition, predictor and the consequence of unplanned extubation (UE) after endotracheal intubation, which may be used as a guide for further medical team care. Material & method: This is a retrospective case control study. A survey of 160 patients with UE was conducted within adult ICUs from 2008 to 2010 in a medical center in southern Taiwan. In a ratio one to four, we compared 54 patients of UE group with randomized 216 patients of planned extubation (PE) group as matching by sex and age in 2010. We wanted to survey the predictive factors of patients with UE. Results: In 160 patients with UE, most were self-removal (131/160, 81.9%), in bed rest status (142/160, 88.8%), elderly (with an average age of 65.46±17.45 years), male (122/160, 76.3%), with the co-morbidity of cerebrovascular accidence (44/160, 27.5%), and awake (111/160, 69.4%). The majority of the clinical ladder of nursing associatedwith UE was N2 (54/160, 33.8%). More than half of UE patients were located on the corner of unit (93/160, 58.1%). The most common material used to fix endotracheal tube was the adhesive ribbon (64/160, 40%). The physical restrains used in UE patients was 55.6% (89/160), and half of them were inappropriately restrained (50/89, 56.1%). There were about 98.8% of UE patients with moderate injury, and 38.8% of them needed to be re-intubated. As compared with PE patients, the factors predicted UE included: agitation, cerebrovascular accidence, lower consciousness level, and the way to fix endotracheal tube. Conclusion: It is mandatory to closely monitor the high risk patients with UE. Agitation, cerebrovascular accidence, lower consciousness level, and the way to fix endotracheal tube were the predictors of UE. The staffs should perform the intervention as early as possible to prevent the occurrence of UE and the unnecessary expenditure of extra care. |
