| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The average pain score, measured by the Behavioral Pain Assessment Scale, will then be compared in the two groups. Timepoint: Pain score measurement on twelve occasions after the start of the study and up to a maximum of 72 hours later. Method of measurement: Behavioral Pain Scale.;The incidence of mucosal damage, which is recorded according to the observation checklist, with a score of one if there is blood in the suction catheter and a score of zero if no blood is observed. Timepoint: Measurement of mucosal damage score after each tracheostomy tube suction session for twelve sessions after the start of the study and up to a maximum of 72 hours later. Method of measurement: Observational checklist for assessing mucosal injury. | — |
