Abstract
The effect of body position change on the endotracheal tube cuff pressure of patients hospitalized in intensive care unit Abstract: Background & Objective: Maintaining the appropriate pressure of endotracheal tube cuff pressure during the hospitalization in Intensive Care Units is important. Among the affecting factors on endotracheal tube cuff pressure are various nursing actions. This study aimed to determine the effect of body position change on the endotracheal tube cuff pressure of patients hospitalized in intensive care unit in, Torabat Heydariyeh, 9Day hospital, was conducted. Materials & Methods: This study is a clinical trial. Population study in this investigation was all patients in Intensive Care Unit with oral endotracheal tube were connected to a mechanical ventilator. 29 patients were selected purposive sampling method. To collect data, demographic data check list and check list about the patient's endotracheal tube cuff pressure and agitation-sedation scores, Richmond was used. Endotracheal tube cuff pressure changes, after changing position to the left and right side of the bed at an angle of 30 degrees and 45 degrees immediately measured and were recorded. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics method, Pearson test, Independent T-test and variance analysis, in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software (SPSS), version 19 and Statistical Analysis System (SAS) software. The level of significance was considered to be 0.05. Results: The results show a statistically significant relationship between endotracheal tube cuff pressures at an angle of 30 degrees to the cuff pressure in changing body on the left side (p = 0.004) and the right side (p = 0.00) and in placing to the right side at a 45 degree angle (p = 0.012). Conclusion: Endotracheal tube cuff pressure by changing the patient's position was changed. Cuff pressure measurement and pressure regulation in the therapeutic range was recommended. Key words: Endotracheal tube cuff pressure, Intensive care unit (ICU), changing the patient's position
