Open Suctioning with a Tracheostomy Tube - 3D animation

Подробнее о видео

Endotracheal suctioning is a common procedure performed in mechanically ventilated patients in order to clear airways of pulmonary secretions and improve respiratory function. In open tracheal suctioning (OTSS), the patient is disconnected from the ventilator and a single-use suction catheter is inserted into the endotracheal tube.

Suctioning is an important part of care for both the individual with tracheostomy as well as laryngectomy. It can be a lifesaving procedure requiring timely and precise methodology. If done appropriately with caution, it decreases the risk of infection, pooling of secretions, and prolonged hypoxia. Suctioning of the airways should be performed by a skilled personnel with appropriate preparation to prevent complications.
