Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To determine incidence and time until first traction or obstruction of nasoenteral tube in hospitalized adults.
METHODS
Prospective double cohort study that included 494 adults who were users of nasoenteral tubes as inpatients in two clinical units and two surgical units in a teaching hospital. The occurrence of tube tractions and obstructions was monitored daily between 2017 and 2019. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate time until the first event.
RESULTS
Tube traction occurred in 33% of the sample, and the incidence of the event was higher on the first five days of tube use. Tube obstruction incidence was 3.4% and grew as tube use time increased.
CONCLUSION
Traction incidence was higher at the beginning of the period of use, whereas obstruction incidence grew as tube use time increased.
