Abstract
PURPOSE: To describe the experience of impaired verbal communication during short-term oral intubation in surgical critical care patients. METHODS: Semi-structured interviews (N = 10) FINDINGS: Patients identified feelings related to discomfort, fear, and frustration. Patients desired to communicate messages regarding pain and discomfort, difficulty breathing, length of intubation, use of restraints, family, physical status, and suctioning. CONCLUSION: Findings can be used to educate patients and families and develop patient-driven communication tools.
