Tracheostomy Suctioning- Nursing Skills:
In this video we’re going to talk about suctioning a tracheostomy. You may need to do this before you do trach care or just because the patient requires suctioning. Make sure that you assess the patient before you start so that you know what their one sounds are, and what their oxygen saturation is. We love you guys! Go out and be your best selves today! And, as always, happy nursing!

Love the moment she doesn't see the water box, and just get flustered, that's nursing personified. 😀

How is he?

VERY GOOD!! 👍

Thank you for sharing

Can you remove a red capped cuff less tracheostomy to suction it? Pt w/radical neck dissection came home with red cap & no one could removed it.

[@garywalker3317]

How can you tell if the suctioning tube is inserted too deep and is it causing more damage than good results?

[@jaybuckby7192]

do you do this only in emergency if just to clear out cracking bubbling as that how my mums sounds

[@mitchelljimeno3564]

Thank you! Very helpful

[@lindzewebb5608]

Why in this skill are you not using hyperoxygenation for this patient? In our skills we have to use oxygen between each pass. Is this more similar to real life practice?

[@sangidabagum118]

I was thinking that too!

[@jubinrajan6334]

In the audio she mentioned about the source of O2 to place back in between the suctioning procedure, IF REQUIRED. During the suctioning it's not mandatory to place O2 back to the patient in between the procedure until and unless indicated. Each suction should not exceed more than 10 sec. Hyperoxygenate the patient prior and immediately after the suctioning.

[@killerbill8993]

Relax

[@aliciam.4286]

[@laurenanderson4712]

Hyperoxegenation is old fashioned and proved to be more harmful due to the free radical damage and other metabolic issues. Aim to keep saturations within the target and only supplement oxygen if required.

[@nattyrudd3279]

it would be nice to see everything more up close. can’t see anything she’s doing because 3/4 of the screen are taken up by the mannequin and random hospital equipment, cant see how she sets her stuff up

[@piyarmohammadchohan326]

It is private would be seen if offerd some commission

[@leeroyjaque]

I thought the same about hyperoxygenation.

[@user-mu3vh1dy1k]

How does the patient breathe during this procedure if he is 100% dependent on the ventilator for breathing?

[@izzir8537]

Hyperoxygenate prior to suctioning. Limit each pass to no more than 10 seconds. If the pt desaturates to say low 80s, withdraw the catheter and huperoxygenate. If the pt is oxygen sensitive hyperoxygenate in btn each pass of suctioning. Do not do more than 3 passes in 1 minute

[@adarshkhanduri8551]

Should the patient not be fully supine ? Keeping patient propped up can increase the risk of damaging the alveolie

[@darlene2735]

You should throw the suction catheter together with the disposable gloves. Instead, you touched your stethoscope with your gloves on.

[@QueenOnyekaAlede]

😂thanks cause i dont want to learn the wrong way I will note that but thats the safest thing to do for sterilization and safety

[@reenursingknowledge]

👍👍👍

[@Hey.Camille]

Shoutout sa BSN 4 diha ga tan aw hahaha

[@onew5329]

if i dont have normal saline, can i use water ?

[@Semo_00]

the water needs to be sterile

[@lindsayelaine38]

Bwhaha.. I’ve done this shit as a CNA.. seriously I have to be patient and listen tho.. my issue with a few of the nursing skills is going to be like.. oh that’s easy. 🤣

[@alexandramadrigal1652]

They would have failed me for touching the sterile water with my sterile gloves since you touched it with your bare hand

[@latricecarter5430]

The hand that touched the water bottle is no longer sterile.

[@ErinAshley-qu6xk]

Great video but I wish I wasn't bothered enough to comment on the break in sterility when she set her gloved hands on the 1 inch unsterile border of the gloving package lol

[@luciamalenab5552]

Wrong. remove your dirty gloves after suctioning then put on a new gloves to listen to breath sounds. 😊

[@thatsfunny6317]

my thoughts indeed!

[@oscarmbugua3119]

Ideally yes.

[@keishac5047]

You didn't oxygenated first

[@EmerW98]

Can't see the equipment - not very useful 🙃

[@ghofranakghofranak176]

وكأنها مضيفة في الطائرة تستعرض حالة الطوارئ😂 ماهاته الحركات الدائرية العنيفة؟😮 عليك بالضغط الخفيف على الأنبوب بأصبع السبابة والإبهام و حاول إدخال الأنبوب ليس سريعا 😢وليس هاته الحركات العنيفة. فقط فرك الأنبوب بين أصبعيك الإبهام والسبابة مع الدفه الخفيف تحت وبعدها فوق مع الضغط على الزر الأحمر..و في النهاية مباشرة ترك الأنبوب داخل القفاز ورميه في النفايات. ملاحظة: أين هي النظافة؟ تعقيم اليدين قبل وبعد وضع القفازات. هاته قاعدة يقوم بها الممرض في كل دول العالم. خاصة إذا كان يعمل فيديو للتوعية.

[@SexyTCAPdecoy4Hansen]

I failed this skill because of the box of water

[@jamesbedugraham8056]

Nursing looks like a nice career oh Babe
