Tracheostomy Suctioning I: Pre-Procedural Steps01:26

Tracheostomy Suctioning I: Pre-Procedural Steps

Tracheostomy suctioning is a critical procedure healthcare professionals perform to maintain a patent airway in patients with a tracheostomy tube. This procedure is necessary when secretions accumulate in the airway, causing respiratory distress. Here is a step-wise procedural guide for performing tracheostomy suctioning using an open system.
Equipment Required
First, gather all necessary equipment: a sterile suction catheter, a sterile disposable container, sterile gloves, a towel or...

Area of Science:

  • Telehealth and Digital Health
  • Audiology and Hearing Healthcare
  • Veterans Affairs Healthcare Systems

Background:

  • Veterans often live far from VA facilities, creating access barriers to essential audiology services.
  • The San Francisco VA Health Care System (SFVAHCS) sought to extend its reach to serve Veterans across a wide geographic area.
  • Traditional in-person audiology appointments pose logistical challenges for geographically dispersed Veterans.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the implementation processes of cart-based synchronous audiology at the SFVAHCS.
  • To detail the components necessary for a successful telehealth audiology service.
  • To describe how to overcome geographic barriers in audiology care delivery for Veterans.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a web-based teleconferencing platform connecting a provider at a main facility with a patient at a remote clinic.
  • Employed a Clinical Access Station (CAS) cart operated by a telehealth technician at the outpatient clinic.
  • Focused on optimizing facility arrangement, technician roles, and training for efficient service delivery.

Main Results:

  • Cart-based synchronous audiology enables audiology services to originate from SFVAHCS, serving Veterans over 250 miles away.
  • Effective organization of the technician's workspace with the CAS cart is crucial for efficient patient care.
  • Telehealth technician capability, training, and skill assessment are key to successful implementation and standardized care.

Conclusions:

  • Cart-based synchronous audiology successfully provides Veterans with audiology care equivalent to face-to-face appointments.
  • The SFVAHCS audiology service effectively meets its goal of high-quality care delivery beyond its defined catchment region.
  • This telehealth modality significantly improves access to audiology services for geographically isolated Veterans.
