Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

Tracheostomy Suctioning II: Procedure01:23

Tracheostomy Suctioning II: Procedure

Tracheostomy suctioning is a vital nursing procedure that involves removing secretions from the tracheostomy tube to maintain airway patency and prevent respiratory complications. Nurses need to understand the proper technique for tracheostomy suctioning to ensure patient safety and comfort. In this guide, we will outline the step-by-step process for performing tracheostomy suctioning, including preparing the sterile field, donning personal protective equipment (PPE), lubricating and connecting...
Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway01:25

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

In preparing for oropharyngeal airway suctioning, a nurse must gather all necessary equipment, including a suction unit with tubing, a prepackaged suction kit, sterile gloves, water or saline for irrigation, a water-soluble lubricant, and additional personal protective equipment (such as a gown, mask, and goggles) to control infections.
After assembling the equipment, the nurse should practice hand hygiene and don appropriate PPE according to infection control guidelines to avoid the...

Background:

  • Maintaining a clear surgical field is critical in neurosurgery.
  • Existing irrigation and suction systems may have limitations in efficiency and safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate a novel dual irrigation-suction system.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of the system in neurosurgical operations.

Main Methods:

  • Design of a pressure-resistant irrigation fluid container with dual irrigation and suction devices.
  • Incorporation of an intracontainer pressure regulator adjustable from 0 to 0.02 MPa.
  • System powered by compressed air, operable by a surgeon and assistant.

Main Results:

  • The system demonstrated effective clearing of the operating field.
  • No complications, including cerebral blood clots or vascular injuries, were reported.
  • Successful application in over 300 neurosurgical procedures.

Conclusions:

  • The designed dual irrigation-suction system is safe and effective for neurosurgical procedures.
  • The system facilitates efficient operation by the surgeon and/or assistant.
  • The technology proves reliable for maintaining optimal surgical field visibility.
