Study Summary
While adhesive tape is commonly used to secure endotracheal tubes (ETT) during general anesthesia, its use is also associated with facial skin injuries. Although a variety of adhesive tapes are used in clinical practice, few studies have investigated the likelihood of adhesives in producing injury. The purpose of this randomized, controlled, non-inferiority study was to compare the proportion of facial skin injury with Durapore™ vs. Hy-Tape®.
Primary Outcome
Skin photographs will be independently evaluated by three blinded dermatologists to determine presence and severity of perioral erythema. Photographs will be cropped such that only the perioral region is visible for assessment. Erythema will be evaluated on a scale of 0-3 (0 indicating none, 1 indicating mild, 2 indicating moderate, and 3 indicating severe).
