Suctioning

Sputum is continually produced in health and our native airways deal with this load without any difficulty. If there is an infection or the sputum load increases, there is an increased risk of the secretions causing problems such as airway obstruction of consolidation in the lung.
These problems are compounded if the patient cannot cough effectively, the inhaled gases are not adequately humidified, the patient is on a ventilator or the presence of a tracheostomy or laryngectomy compromises the bodies ability to deal with the secretions.
In such patients chest physiotherapy along with suctioning is required to effectively clear the airways and prevent infection
