Designing a Finite Element Model to Determine the Different Fixation Positions of Tracheal Catheters in the Oral Cavity for Minimizing the Risk of Oral Mucosal Pressure Injury: Comparison Study
Fixation of the tracheal catheter at the left and right oral corners results in the lowest equivalent and shear stresses, while the lower lip exhibited the highest stresses. We recommend minimizing the contact time and area of the lower lip during tracheal catheter fixation, and to alternately replace the contact area at the left and right oral corners to prevent oral mucosal pressure injuries.
