Advantages of catheter fixation tape

1. Fixed firmly, the method of using adhesive tape to fix the tracheal duct is commonly used. Due to the strong secretion of sebum in the cheeks and easy sweating, the adhesive tape is prone to loosening after fixation, resulting in catheter displacement and inappropriate depth, which affects the ventilation effect and delays the condition. Through research, it has been found that using a catheter fixing patch to fix the tracheal catheter is more secure than conventional adhesive tape, reducing the occurrence of catheter displacement and thus reducing the impact of catheter displacement on ventilation effectiveness.

2. To reduce skin irritation, the traditional method of using adhesive tape to fix tracheal intubation was used. Due to some patients having allergic reactions to the adhesive tape, 5 cases in the control group experienced skin redness. The method of fixing the tracheal duct with a catheter fixing patch, due to its soft cotton composition and flat shape, can closely adhere to the skin, with a large force area on the skin, and the elasticity can be adjusted freely, which is not easy to cause indentation and pain, and does not cause skin allergies, improving the patient's comfort. Using a tie behind the ear on the side can prevent discomfort when the head is pressed against the tie while lying in bed.

3. Easy to replace, double knot, also known as fragrant knot or curly knot, can have a great effect when both ends are evenly applied; And it is easy to loosen, easy to replace after contamination, and does not leave any traces of adhesive tape, making it easy to clean. Pay attention to keeping the catheter fixed clean and dry.

4. Convenient to use and time-saving. Due to the need for 3 pieces of adhesive tape for fixation, the operator often wears gloves during operation, which can easily cause adhesion and affect efficiency when tearing off the adhesive tape. Rescuing patients is a race against time. Due to the fact that tracheal intubation is usually used for rescuing critically ill patients except for anesthesia, it can be cut in advance and placed together with other intubation materials for later use, making it convenient to prepare and saving time. Additionally, it does not stick to gloves during use, making it easy to use.
