A Quality Improvement Project to Reduce Unplanned Extubations in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Many NICUs focus on reducing UEs due to the impact on healthcare resource utilization, acute complications, and long-term outcomes for infants. The development of a standardized, nurse-led care bundle for ETTs decreased the rate of UEs. Future research is needed to study the potential for generalization to different units and beyond the scope of the neonatal population.
