    Area of Science:

    • Critical Care Medicine
    • Respiratory Therapy
    • Pulmonary Medicine

    Background:

    • Endotracheal suctioning is a common procedure in critical care.
    • Optimizing suctioning techniques is crucial for patient safety and outcomes.
    • Variability in practice necessitates evidence-based guidelines.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish a safe and effective protocol for endotracheal suctioning.
    • To correlate ventilation and suctioning parameters with physiological responses.
    • To provide evidence-based guidelines for endotracheal suctioning.

    Main Methods:

    • Correlating augmented tidal ventilation and suctioning periods with continuous arterial oxygen tension.
    • Evaluating the impact of head position on catheter placement during bronchography.
    • Measuring inspired oxygen concentrations during various inhalation therapies and breathing modes.

    Main Results:

    • Established a routine balancing ventilation and suctioning.
    • Demonstrated the influence of head position on catheter trajectory.
    • Quantified oxygen delivery during different respiratory support methods.

    Conclusions:

    • Developed guidelines to maximize benefits of endotracheal suctioning.
    • Minimized risks associated with endotracheal suctioning procedures.
    • Enhanced patient safety through optimized suctioning protocols.
