Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Tongue edema (TE) is an enlargement of the tongue that can be noticed with the naked eye and protrudes from the mouth. Endotracheal intubation tube, which can exert high pressure on the tongue for a long time, may cause TE. This study was aimed to detect TE, which may develop due to long-term pressure application of the intubation tube to the tongue, in patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) who underwent endotracheal intubation by submental ultrasonography (USG) method.
