Abstract

Background: In intensive care units (ICUs), endotracheal tubes (ETTs) cause injury to the oral mucosa through friction and pressure. The incidence and risk factors of oral mucosal pressure injuries (PIs) have gained increasing attention in recent years.

Aim: The study aimed to identify risk factors for oral mucosal PIs associated with ETTs.

Study design: This was a single-centre brief follow-up longitudinal study conducted from January to May 2022. It recruited 250 patients without oral mucosal PIs who received mechanical ventilation support via ETT and were hospitalized in the ICU of a teaching and research hospital in Turkey. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to estimate the onset time of oral mucosal PI using the ETT repositioning time as an independent variable.

Results: Oral mucosal PIs associated with ETT developed in 41.6% of patients. Of the 250 endotracheally intubated patients, the mean Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE-II) score was 27.5 (min/max: 18/42), the mean length of stay (LOS) in the ICU was 24 days (min/max: 13/80). The median body mass index (BMI) of patients with oral mucosal PIs was (24.59 [IQR = 3.81] kg/m2), significantly lower than the median BMI of patients without oral mucosal PIs (26.62 [IQR = 5.93] kg/m2) (Z = 4.200; p < .001). The earliest onset of oral mucosal PIs was noted at 16 h after the start of follow-up, and the latest was 208 h after the start of follow-up, with a median of 160 (IQR = 48) h (approximately 6.7 days). Patients whose ETT was repositioned after 10.5 h had a higher risk of developing oral mucosal PIs (OR = 3.77; 95% CI: 2.65-5.37; p < .001). The decision tree (CHAID) method was applied to determine the time required to reposition the ETT to prevent oral mucosal PIs. The decision tree correctly classified the occurrence of oral mucosal PIs by 60.6% and the non-occurrence of oral mucosal PIs by 97.9%. Patients with parenteral nutrition and a low frequency of ETT repositioning time had a higher risk of oral mucosal PIs (p < .001).

Conclusions: Parenteral nutrition support and ETT repositioning timing were the primary risk factors for developing oral mucosal PIs. Close monitoring of endotracheally intubated patients receiving parenteral nutrition is essential, with particular attention to forming oral mucosal PIs. Additionally, repositioning the ETT at intervals of no more than 8 h may help reduce the risk of oral mucosal PI development.

Relevance to clinical practice: As ICU patients are particularly vulnerable to mucosal membrane PIs, recognizing the associated risk factors is crucial for early detection and prevention. This study highlights the specific risk factors for oral mucosal PIs, equipping nurses with the knowledge to develop targeted interventions to prevent these injuries.

期刊介绍: Nursing in Critical Care is an international peer-reviewed journal covering any aspect of critical care nursing practice, research, education or management. Critical care nursing is defined as the whole spectrum of skills, knowledge and attitudes utilised by practitioners in any setting where adults or children, and their families, are experiencing acute and critical illness. Such settings encompass general and specialist hospitals, and the community. Nursing in Critical Care covers the diverse specialities of critical care nursing including surgery, medicine, cardiac, renal, neurosciences, haematology, obstetrics, accident and emergency, neonatal nursing and paediatrics. Papers published in the journal normally fall into one of the following categories: -research reports -literature reviews -developments in practice, education or management -reflections on practice
