    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the potential complications associated with traditional suctioning methods.
    • To emphasize the importance of proper techniques in artificial airway care for nurses.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on suctioning techniques and their impact on airway tissues.
    • Analysis of case studies detailing complications from improper suctioning.

    Main Results:

    • Suctioning-induced trauma can lead to carinal damage and subsequent complications.
    • Adherence to specific protocols significantly reduces the incidence of airway injury.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurses require specialized knowledge of artificial airway management.
    • Implementing evidence-based suctioning protocols is crucial for preventing patient harm and ensuring optimal outcomes.
