Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults over 18 years old who have been intubated within the last 24 hours.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with pre-existing skin lesions, those requiring nasotracheal intubation, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of the AnchorFast device compared to traditional cord fixation methods in reducing complications associated with orotracheal intubation. It focuses on the rates of pressure ulcers, tube mobilization, and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) among patients in intensive care. The study is designed to reflect real-life conditions and will also assess caregiver satisfaction and workload. By optimizing intubation tube fixation practices, the study aims to enhance patient outcomes and caregiver experiences.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved patient safety and reduced complications related to intubation.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have indicated the superiority of the AnchorFast device over traditional methods, suggesting a promising approach.
