About this study
Researchers are testing if endotracheal tube suctioning increases pain levels in intubated adult ICU patients. The trial also aims to see if this procedure causes stress markers to increase in the blood. Researchers will compare patients who receive suctioning with those who don't, measuring pain and blood markers of stress.
Based on ClinicalTrials.gov records.
