Summary

This trial tests whether a special device (AnchorFast) can better secure breathing tubes in elderly trauma patients compared to standard tape. The goal is to reduce painful mouth injuries and prevent the tube from slipping out. Ninety patients aged 65 and older in the intensive care unit will be randomly assigned to one of three securing methods.

What this could lead to
If effective, this device could become a standard way to secure breathing tubes in elderly ICU patients, reducing painful mouth sores and accidental tube removal.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 90 patients, so results may not apply to all hospital settings. The device may not significantly outperform tape.
