Abstract: Unplanned endotracheal extubation (UE) is a common adverse event in the intensive care unit (ICU), which causes serious complications. We collected data from January 2016 to April 2017 and found that the incidence of UE in our Medical Intensive Care Unit was 0.42%. The reasons of UE were lack of an assessment for diagnosing deliriums, practice physical restraint-protocol inappropriately, delayed extubation, and no alarm system for high risk of UE. We decided to promote the “ABCDE bundle” as our strategy to reduce the incidence of UE including holding an educational program, establishing a guideline for caring delirium patients in the ICU, practicing an assessment tool of physical restraint, and developing an alarm systems for high risk of UE. The project was executed from May 2017 to July 2017, and no UE was reported, the incidence of UE dropped to 0%. The results of this project may provide a model to reduce the incidence of UE in the ICU. |
