Suctioning

Critically ill patients have a weakened ability to spontaneously clear secretions. The appropriate suctioning of soiled airways decreases the risk of aspiration, promotes optimal pulmonary gas exchange and prevents nosocomial pneumonia.

Y-suction catheter

A soft flexible catheter typically used for suctioning endotracheal tubes. Additionally suitable for the suctioning of the patients nares, nasopharynx, oropharynx, stoma, tracheostomy and airway adjuncts.

Procedure Airway suctioning

PROCEDURE oropharyngeal suctioning

1. Open the Yankeur suction catheter packaging to expose (only) the connection port.

2. Ensure the catheter is connected to the suction tubing and the suction tubing is connected to an appropriate suction device.

3. If variable suction is available, adjust the suctioning pressure accordingly:

- Neonates: 6080 mmHg

- Paediatrics: 80100 mmHg

- Adults: 80120 mmHg

4. Test for adequate suction by occluding the catheters side port.

5. Remove the suction catheter from the packaging.

6. With the side port remaining open, gently insert the catheters tip into the patients oral cavity.

7. Activate suctioning whilst gently withdrawing the catheter from the oropharynx.

8. Ensure the commencement of appropriate oxygenation/ventilation. If required, repeat the suctioning procedure.







6. Remove the suction catheter from the packaging.

7. With the side port remaining open, gently insert the catheters tip into the patients nostril down to the back of the throat. If resistance is felt, or the patients cough reflex is stimulated, remove and attempt

reinsertion.

8. Activate suctioning whilst gently withdrawing the catheter in a rotating motion.

9. Ensure the commencement of appropriate oxygenation/ventilation. If required, consider repeating using the alternate nostril.

PROCEDURE nasopharyngeal suctioning

1. Select the appropriate size Y-suction catheter.

2. Open the Y-suction catheter packaging to expose (only) the connection port.

3. Ensure the catheter is connected to the suction tubing and the suction

tubing is connected to an appropriate suction device.

PROCEDURE tracheostomy tube suctioning

1. Select the appropriate size Y-suction catheter (suction catheters should

be half the size of the tracheostomy tube).

2. Open the Y-suction catheter packaging to expose (only) the connection port.

3. Ensure the catheter is connected to the suction tubing and the suction

tubing is connected to an appropriate suction device.




PROCEDURE tracheostomy tube suctioning (cont.)






6. Remove the suction catheter from the packaging ensuring that the distal

catheters sterility is maintained.

7. If present, remove the patients heat moisture exchanger (swedish nose),

BVM or ventilator circuit.

8. With the side port remaining open, gently insert the catheters tip into the patients tracheostomy advancing to just beyond the tubes distal opening (the total length plus 0.5 cm).

9. Activate suctioning whilst gently withdrawing the catheter in a rotating

motion.

10. Ensure the commencement of appropriate oxygenation/ventilation. If required, repeat the suctioning procedure.




Additional information[1]

The potential for aerosolised sputum exposure is HIGH.

All precautions that serve to minimise risk to the

clinician are to be applied.

The size of the Y-suction catheter should be less than half the internal diameter of the endotracheal/

tracheostomy tube.

If variable suction is available, adjust the suctioning

pressure accordingly:




e

PROCEDURE Airway suctioning (meconium)

1. Ensure the meconium aspirator is connected to the suction tubing.

2. Intubate newly born with an appropriately sized ETT.

3. Once successfully intubated, connect larger end (15 mm OD) of the meconium aspirator to the ETT adapter.

4. Occlude the suction control port to regulate the suction.

5. Whilst suctioning, gently withdraw the ETT to remove the meconium suctioning should be limited to 2 second episodes.
