Tracheostomy Suctioning I: Pre-Procedural Steps01:26

Tracheostomy Suctioning I: Pre-Procedural Steps

3.2K
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...

Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned...

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

1.4K
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...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques

794
Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Physiotherapy Training
  • Simulation Technology

Background:

  • Artificial airway suctioning is a high-risk procedure requiring thorough training.
  • Remote simulation offers an alternative educational approach, but its effectiveness is not well-established.
  • Limited evidence exists on remote simulation's impact on procedural competence and learning in healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of an asynchronous remote simulation program on physiotherapy students' procedural competence in artificial airway suctioning.
  • To assess changes in theoretical knowledge, anxiety levels, and student perceptions following the simulation program.
  • To determine the feasibility of remote simulation for competency-based training in cardiorespiratory physiotherapy.

Main Methods:

  • A quasi-experimental study involving 4th-year physiotherapy students in a cardiorespiratory course.
  • A 4-week asynchronous remote simulation program with instructional materials, 3D airway model practice, and multimodal feedback.
  • Assessment of procedural performance using Directly Observed Procedural Skills (DOPS) compared to expert performance; evaluation of theoretical knowledge, anxiety, and perceptions.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvement in procedural performance across training sessions, with DOPS scores comparable to expert performance (P < .001).
  • No significant changes in theoretical knowledge or anxiety levels were observed.
  • Students reported positive perceptions of the remote simulation training, with the perception questionnaire showing high internal consistency.

Conclusions:

  • Asynchronous remote simulation effectively improved procedural performance in artificial airway suctioning for physiotherapy students.
  • Remote simulation is a feasible strategy for competency-based training, enhancing procedural skills and positive learning perceptions.
  • The study underscores the need for appropriate assessment tools and contextual interpretation of outcomes in simulation-based education.
