Relationship between anxiety, depression, and quality of life in adult patients with cystic fibrosis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Unplanned extubation (UE) is an important quality metric in the neonatal ICU that is associated with hypoxia, bradycardia, and risk for airway trauma with emergent re-intubation. Initial efforts to reduce UE in our level 4 neonatal ICU included standardized securement of the endotracheal tube (ETT) and requi...
