How to Keep the Endotracheal Tube off Patient’s Chest & Chin? This Innovative Indian 'Jugaad' at Hospital Wins Praises Online (See Pic)
An endotracheal tube that is placed through the mouth into the trachea (windpipe) to help a patient breathe can cause irritation at times to patients, bothering their chest or chin during a surgery. This is why, a hospital nurse found a 'jugaad,' by placing a balloon to hold the pipe. The pic has gone viral.

People Are Impressed With the 'Jugaad'
Necessity is mother of Invention. She must have felt irritation of the patient when tubes touched chin/chest which could've been avoided. So she racked her brain & found out a solution. You must appreciate her. She is an Angel in nurse's form. My Salutes 🙏🌹🌹🌹

Great Indian 'Jugaad'
its a great Indian jugaad but seriously I can imagine how relaxed the patient must be feeling... though on the lighter side of it the jugaad seems similar to the corona virus 🦠
