Unplanned Extubation: An Underrecognized Complication

An unrecognized dislodgment of an endotracheal tube can cause major complications.  The objectives for this training include to: identify the circumstances and consequences of unplanned extubation, outline evidence-based interventions for cases of unplanned extubation, and describe preventive strategies for secure tube placement.

Objectives

• Identify the circumstances and consequences of unplanned extubation
• Outline evidence-based interventions for cases of unplanned extubation
• Describe preventive strategies for secure tube placement
