Summary
This study tested a new, custom-made 3D-printed device to hold breathing tubes in place for obese patients. Standard methods often fail because of extra neck tissue, causing the tube to move and leading to complications. Researchers compared the new device to usual care in 66 adults, checking tube stability, skin health, and patient comfort.
