Hate doing this
did my first one yesterday, i was very nervous but the RT talked me through it:)
Got it! Thanks Loren!! Hope I never need that! Lol
Would be great for babies too if it weren’t for their tiny naso passages
@Jess Wren… Yes.. Nasal and mouth suctioning is done after birth in operating room to remove excess secretions and ease their breathing patterns. Take note!! It is done wth meticulous caution..
suctioning prn is really needed for chronic patients those who are on ventilators,and for pediatrics especially infants to clear their airways ( with bronchiolitis ,RSV pts for example ) which is common for us to do.
Not my favorite thing to do
Measure the suction catheter before doing it from tip of the nose to the lower portion of the ear so you u won’t go deeper and able to suction the gastric content especially for neonates.
