This comparative study evaluates the efficacy of Lillehei and ‘X’ shaped adhesive tape techniques as nursing interventions for securing endotracheal tube placement in critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of KLE’s Dr. Prabhakar Kore Hospital and MRC, Belagavi. Securing endotracheal tubes effectively is essential in ensuring patient safety and preventing complications such as accidental extubation or tube displacement. The study will compare the two techniques in terms of adhesive strength, duration of fixation, and complications. A quantitative research approach with a sample of 50 ICU patients will be used, and the outcomes will be measured through a series of assessments on tube displacement and patient
