Unplanned Extubations (UE) – Estimated Annual Cost Avoidance
Reintubation Post-UE – Estimated Annual Cost Avoidance
ET Tube-Related Pressure Injuries – Estimated Annual Cost Avoidance
The annualized ROI estimate above showcases the potential budgetary impact of using the HORSESHOE™ ETT securement device. This is due to reduction of unplanned extubations (UEs), reintubations post‑UE, and ET tube‑related pressure injury incidence rates. Above is a medium‑sized hospital archetype of 344 beds. This composition was based on using a site derived from CDC benchmarks. In this base case scenario, the facility could experience an estimated cost avoidance of approximately $664,812 per year, or just over $1,000 per mechanically ventilated patient in a 25% reduction scenario.
This annualized savings projection includes both direct clinical costs and downstream effects (ICU days, reintubation, and injury treatment), offset by the expected cost of the securement device.
