Summary

Tracheal suctioning is a process which is often applied to patients' care who have an artificial airway and whose respiration is achieved via mechanical ventilation. When secretions are not cleaned enough, it causes a variety of complications in the patient from hypoxemia to infection.

It is reported that the studies with nurses in clinical practice have shown that they have opinions such as the closed system does not suction the patients effectively as the open system does; it remains incapable in removing secretions, thus the suctioning process is being applied more frequently.

Therefore this study is designed to examine the amount of secretions and frequency of suctioning as a result of open and closed suctioning systems.

Conditions

  • Secretion; Excess, Salivation
