Critically Ill Patients That Experienced the Gargle Test for Successful Extubation Treatments on the Head and Neck a New Test
Author(s): Safina Shiddique*
For safe extubation and patient safety, it is essential to improve predictive
methods for spotting airway edoema. With patients admitted to the
critical care unit, the goal of this study was to analyse the diagnostic reliability of the Gargle test, a new tool for determining airway edoema and forecasting successful extubation. Patients who underwent head
and neck procedures and were hospitalised to the ICU were included
in this prospective observational study. The same technique was used
to wean each patient. First, the quantitative and qualitative Cuff Leak
Tests were used, and then the GT using 0.9% normal saline. Calculations
were made to determine the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive
predictive value, and negative predictive value. The study has one
hundred and eighteen participants. Low levels of agreement existed
between GT and CLT. The .. View More»
