Trans-septal Mattress Suture: Securing Naso-Endotracheal Tubes With Enhanced Stability and Aesthetic Preservation.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Securing the endotracheal tube is vital for airway patency, especially in oral surgeries; naso-endotracheal intubation is ideal, but improper fixation risks nasal injury or accidental extubation. This technical note unveils the trans-septal mattress suture technique as a novel approach to secure naso-endotracheal tubes, amplifying stability, reducing trauma, and elevating aesthetic outcomes in head and neck surgeries. This study was performed at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubhaneshwar, Khordha, Odisha, India, from December 2022 to March 2024 with due consent taken from all patients. Naso-endotracheal tube dislodgement during jaw fracture surgeries can cause nasal mucosa trauma and inadequate ventilation. Head and neck oncology cases require secure tube fixation due to prolonged intubation. Adhesive tapes lose adhesiveness, and fixators may obstruct visibility, while sutures offer reliable stabilization. A trans-columellar suture initially anchors the tube, but prolonged surgery risks skin necrosis and nasal deformity. Hence, we advocated a trans-septal mattress technique that relocates the knot to the septal area, preventing necrosis, ensuring stability, and minimizing postoperative deformity. Our trans-septal suture technique secures the naso-endotracheal tube by avoiding columellar scarring, ensuring better cosmesis while minimizing epistaxis risks. It offers a stable, cost-effective airway solution, ideal for prolonged surgeries, balancing function with aesthetics effectively.
