Problem Statement Unplanned extubation in critical care patients has been greatly scrutinized over the past years because of its contribution in higher risk for mortality‚ morbidity‚ and resource utilization (Epstein et al‚ 2000).

An anesthetic (American English) (or anaesthetic‚ (Commonwealth English)) is a drug that causes anesthesia—reversible loss of sensation.

The personnel are close and they maintain a good relationship with each other. While there was no incident that caused them to work together I have seen them help each other out.
