Objective: We aimed to assess the impact of endotracheal tube (ETT) fixation methods routinely used in our clinic, on displacement in prone-positioned patients under general anesthesia. Material and Methods: One of four different methods (ThomasTM tube holder, nonadhesive tape, X-shape adhesive tape, and Reinforced adhesive tape) was used for ETT fixation. The distance between the tip of the ETT and the carina was measured using a fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) in the supine position. The patients were then placed in the prone position, and the FOB examination was repeated. The difference between these two measurements, obtained in the supine and prone positions, indicated the ETT displacement due to position changes. Clinically significant displacement was defined as ETT movement of >1 cm in either direction. Results: A total of 80 patients were included in this study. ETT displacement occurred in 31 (38.75%) patients during the transition to the prone position. The least displacement was observed with the ThomasTM tube holder (0.2±0.52). Reinforced adhesive tape showed similar results to the ThomasTM tube holder (0.4±1.19). The highest ETT displacement was observed with X-shape adhesive tape (1.6±1.79) and nonadhesive tape (0.95±1.05), respectively. Clinically significant ETT movement (>1 cm) occurred in 17 patients (21.25%). The occurrence rates were 5% (1/20) with the ThomasTM tube holder, 15% (3/20) with Reinforced adhesive tape, 25% (5/20) with nonadhesive tape, and 40% (8/20) with X-shape adhesive tape. Conclusion: The ThomasTM tube holder significantly reduced ETT mobility in patients positioned in the prone position.

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, kliniğimizde rutin olarak kullanılan endotrakeal tüp (ETT) fiksasyon yöntemlerinin, genel anestezi altında pron pozisyondaki hastalarda ETT yer değiştirmesi üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntemler: ETT fiksasyonu için 4 farklı yöntemden (Thomas tüp tutucu, yapışkan olmayan bağ, X şeklinde yapışkan bant ve güçlendirilmiş yapışkan bant) biri kullanıldı. Supin pozisyonda, ETT ucu ile karina arasındaki mesafe fiberoptik bronkoskop (FOB) ile ölçüldü. Daha sonra hastalar pron pozisyona alındı ve FOB muayenesi tekrarlandı. Supin ve pron pozisyonunda elde edilen bu iki ölçüm arasındaki fark, pozisyon değişikliklerine bağlı ETT yer değişikliğini gösterdi. Klinik olarak anlamlı bir yer değiştirme, ETT'nin her iki yönde de >1cm hareketi olarak tanımlandı. Bulgular: Bu çalışmaya toplam 80 hasta alındı. Pron pozisyona geçişte, 31 (%38,75) hastada ETT yer değişikliği meydana geldi. En az ETT yer değişikliği Thomas tüp tutucu ile gözlendi (0,2±0,52). Güçlendirilmiş yapışkan bant yöntemi (0,4±1,19) Thomas tüp tutucuya yakın sonuç verdi. En yüksek ETT yer değişikliği sırasıyla X şeklinde yapışkan bant yöntemi (1,6±1,79) ve yapışkan olmayan bağda (0,95±1,05) görüldü. Klinik olarak anlamlı ETT hareketi (>1 cm), 17 (%21,25) hastada tespit edildi; bu oran Thomas tüp tutucuda %5 (1/20), güçlendirilmiş yapışkan bant yönteminde %15 (3/20), yapışkan olmayan bağda %25 (5/20) ve X şeklinde yapışkan bant yönteminde %40 (8/20) idi. Sonuç: Pron pozisyona alınan hastalarda Thomas tüp tutucu, ETT hareketliliğini önemli ölçüde azaltmıştır.
