[@Rebecca-sc7rd]

This video was excellent!!!!! it is the little details that helps! like explaining why it is important to lift one hand up when putting on a glove and why when you suction with your non-dominant hand it is non-sterile. excellent video!!

one thing to add is to know how far to insert the cath, measure from the tip of the nose to the earlobe :)

She is not a nurse, Most likely a Respiratory Therapist.

[@uniquejohnson5516]

Andolem being that she has multiple teaching videos. I think you are wrong!

Three questions: 1.) so it's not necessary to use water soluble lubricant if the suction tube goes down smoothly through the nose? 2.) how do you gauge what a safe distance for the tube to go down is? 3.) what signs does a RT look for to make sure that there's damage to the mucus membranes/inner lining occurring?

[@haylee3336]

So I have answers for you, though its a year later... 1) Water based lube is needed in most cases. If oxygen therapy is being given water based lube is the only thing that should be used. Petroleum based products could ignite and cause fire and/or irritation/burns in the airways - not a good situation. 2) The AARC says to go until the patient coughs or resistance is felt and pull back a cm or 2. The later way is outdated but it is a good way to gauge if you went too far. If the resistance method is used too often it will cause carina damage which is why it is outdated. 3) The signs of nasal passageway trauma are Laceration of nasal turbinates, perforation of the lyrnx, nasal irritation/bleeding, uvular edema, tracheitis, and mucosal hemorrhage. That being said, swelling, bleeding, and visible damage.
