To removes the secretions from the airway
Allow the patients to breathe easier
C .Indications
Patients with artificial airway
Patients with coptous, retained secretion who can't cough effectively
The presence of adventitious breath sounds
A requirement for a sputum specimen for laboratory analysis
If the patient is isolated and coma
D. Contraindications
Patients with less the cerebra spinal fluid
Pulmonary edema
Acute neck, facial/ head injury
Hemodynamic instability
Nasal/oral burns, due to risk of infection
Raised of ICP
Patients with epiglottis
Patients with known hypersensitivity/vasovagal response to suctioning
E. Complications
Hypoxemia
Dysrhythmias
Hypotension
Atelectasis
Infections
Tracheal mucosal damage
Vomiting and aspiration of stomach contents
Arrhythmias
Bronchospasm
Increased of ICP
f. Equipment
Suction machine
Suction catheter
Sterile water for clearing clogged catheter
Sterile gloves
Cassa
Mask, apron, eye protection
Connector tubing
Oxygen supply and delivery service as indicated
