About this trial
It is aimed to minimise both unplanned extubation and skin damage with the surgical incision drep that we will use to fix the endotracheal tube in neonatal preterm infants and to reduce the complications that may develop due to these events. In addition, it is aimed to evaluate the relationship between these parameters by using devices measuring skin moisture, skin pH and Neonatal Skin Condition Assessment Scale in experimental and control groups.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
demographic data
It will consist of questions such as gestational week, birth weight, postnatal age, frequency of endotracheal tube re-fixation, reason for hospitalization, frequency of aspiration, mode of delivery, gender, phototherapy status, antibiotic status, sedative use, analgesic use, ventilator mode.
Secondary outcomes
skin ph meter and skin moisture meter
During the intubation period, skin pH and skin moisture meter data will be obtained from the experimental and control group patients every 24 hours at the intubation fixation site.
Other outcomes
Newborn Skin Condition Assessment Scale
Data will be collected every 24 hours.The scale consists of three dimensions including dryness, redness and impaired skin integrity/peeling. The NSCS can be used in all newborns and a score between 3 and 9 is obtained. The lowest score of 3 indicates the best skin score, while the highest score of 9 indicates the worst skin score. skin wounds scores at the site of intubation tube fixation will be compared in experimental and control groups.
unplanned extubation
Data will be collected and statistical values will be calculated when an unplanned extubation event occurs in the experimental and control group patients while the patient is intubated.
