PURPOSE: Endotracheal or tracheostomy tube suctioning is performed to maintain the patency of the artificial airway and to improve gas exchange, decrease airway resistance, and reduce infection risk by removing secretions from the trachea and main-stem bronchi.

Suctioning also may be performed to obtain samples of tracheal secretions for laboratory analysis. The presence of these artificial airways, especially endotracheal tubes, prevents effective coughing and secretion removal, necessitating periodic removal of pulmonary secretions with suctioning.

In acute care situations, suctioning is always performed as a sterile procedure to prevent hospital-acquired pneumonia. In the open-suction technique, after disconnection of the endotracheal or tracheostomy tube from any ventilatory tubing or oxygen sources, a single-use suction catheter is inserted into the open end of the tube. In the closed-suction technique, also referred to as in-line suctioning, a multiple-use suction catheter inside a sterile plastic sleeve is inserted through a special diaphragm attached to the end of the endotracheal or tracheostomy tube Fig.

The closed-suction technique allows for the maintenance of oxygenation and ventilation support, which may be beneficial in patients with moderate to severe pulmonary insufficiency. In addition, the closed-suction technique decreases the risk for aerosolization of tracheal secretions during suction-induced coughing.

When clinical indicators of the need for suctioning exist, there is no absolute contraindication to suctioning. In situations in which the development of a suctioning complication would be poorly tolerated by the patient, strong evidence of a clinical need for suctioning should exist. These areas of damage increase the risk of infection and bleeding. Use of special-tipped catheters, low levels of suction pressure, or intermittent suction pressure has not been shown to decrease tracheal mucosal damage with suctioning.

Instillation of a bolus of normal saline solution does not thin secretions, may cause decreases in arterial and mixed venous oxygenation, and may contribute to lower airway contamination from the mechanical dislodgment of bacteria within the artificial airway or from contamination of saline solution during instillation.

Rationale: The explanation reduces anxiety. Rationale: This information reduces anxiety and elicits patient cooperation. Rationale: This information encourages cooperation and facilitates removal of secretions.

Rationale: These pressures indicate potential secretions in the airway, increasing resistance to gas flow. Rationale: These values indicate potential secretions in the airway, decreasing gas exchange. Rationale: This communication evaluates and reinforces understanding of previously taught information.

PURPOSE: The tracheal tube cuff helps stabilize the endotracheal or tracheal tube and maintains an adequate airway seal so that air moves through the tube into the lungs. The cuff also may decrease the risk of aspiration of large food particles, but it does not protect against aspiration of liquid. When inflated, the cuff presses against the tracheal wall to prevent air leakage and pressure loss from the lungs.

Effects of soft and hard cuff inflation on the tracheal w all. The older cuff design low-volume high-pressure may require 40 mm Hg Ideally, the cuff pressures should be between 20 and 25 mm Hg and still meet the goals of cuff use. Tracheal capillary perfusion pressure is 25 to 35 mm Hg for patients with normotensive conditions. Lower cuff pressures are associated with less mucosal damage but also are associated with silent aspiration, which has been shown to be more prevalent at cuff pressures less than 20 mm Hg.

The MLT involves air inflation of the tube cuff until any leak stops; then, a small amount of air is removed slowly until a small leak is heard on inspiration. Problems with this technique include difficulty maintaining positive end expiratory pressure PEEP , aspiration around the cuff, and increased movement of the tube in the trachea during cuff deflation.

The MOV consists of injection of air into the cuff until no leak is heard, then withdrawal of the air until a small leak is heard on inspiration, and then addition of more air until no leak is heard on inspiration.

MLT decreases tracheal mucosal injury and assists in mobilizing secretions forward into the pharynx. MOV is used if the patient needs a seal to provide adequate ventilation or is at risk for aspiration. These complications may be more likely to occur in conditions that adversely affect tissue response to mucosal injury, such as hypotension.

Two major mechanisms are mainly responsible for airway damage: tube movement and pressure. Duration of intubation also plays a significant role. Rationale: This information elicits patient cooperation. Rationale: This explanation elicits patient cooperation. Rationale: This assessment assists in verification of tube placement. Rationale: The amount of air previously used to inflate the cuff can be used as a guideline to determine changes in volume or pressure or both.

Rationale: Volume and pressure of air needed to seal the airway depend on the relationship of tube and trachea diameters. Rationale: This positioning promotes general relaxation, oxygenation, and ventilation. It also reduces stimulation of the gag reflex and risk of aspiration. Hess, D.

PURPOSE: Tracheostomy tube care is performed to maintain airway patency and decrease infection risk by removing secretions that accumulate within the inner cannula.

Tracheostomy refers to the opening, or stoma, made by the incision. The tracheostomy tube is the artificial airway inserted into the trachea during tracheotomy Fig. FIGURE A tracheostomy sometimes called a tracheotomy is created surgically by making an opening through the skin of the neck into the trachea.

Serra A: Tracheostomy care, Nurs Stand ,, The tubes can be metal or plastic, with standard or extra length. Clinicians who care for patients with tracheostomy tubes must understand the differences and select a tube that appropriately fits the patient and clinical condition. A tracheostomy tube is shorter than but similar in diameter to an endotracheal tube and has a squared-off distal tip for maximization of airflow. The outer cannula forms the body of a tracheostomy tube with a cuff.

The neck flange, attached to the outer cannula, assists in stabilizing the tube in the trachea and provides the small holes necessary for proper securing of the tube. Some tracheostomy setups have an inner cannula inserted into the outer cannula. The inner cannula is removable for easy cleaning without airway compromise. The cuff is a balloon inflated with air to maintain a seal around the tube.

As the air flows through the one-way inflation valve, the pilot balloon inflates, which indicates the volume of air present in the cuff. The cuff limits aspiration of oral and gastric secretions. Uncuffed tubes are commonly used in children, in adults with laryngectomies, and during decannulation of the tracheostomy. A fenestrated tracheostomy tube has an opening in the curvature of the posterior wall of the outer cannula.

Fenestrated tracheostomy tubes are useful for patients with smaller tracheas and during weaning. Foam cuff tracheostomy tubes consist of a high-volume cuff and are composed of polyurethane foam covered with a silicone sheath. Despite the long availability of this type of tracheostomy tube, it is not commonly used and is usually reserved for patients who already have tracheal injury related to the cuff.

Most often, the procedure is elective and performed in the operating room with sterile conditions. An emergency tracheotomy is performed at the bedside with aseptic technique or before arrival in the critical care unit when swelling, injury, or other upper airway obstruction prevents intubation with an endotracheal tube. Percutaneous tracheotomies also are performed at the bedside. Minimally invasive percutaneous tracheotomy was introduced recently as an alternative to the traditional surgical technique.

It has gained widespread acceptance in the past decade. The percutaneous procedure has achieved outcomes comparable with outcomes with the surgical technique. Table Indications for Tracheostomy Bypass acute upper airway obstruction Prolonged need for artificial airway Prophylaxis for anticipated airway problems Reduction of anatomic dead space Prevention of pulmonary aspiration Retained tracheobronchial secretions Chronic upper airway obstruction.

Often, nurses at the bedside take an active role in assisting with tracheotomy and insertion of a tracheostomy tube; however, some institutions have surgical personnel at the bedside to assist with the procedure. Its smooth surface protrudes from the outer cannula and minimizes tracheal trauma.

When the tracheostomy tube is inserted, the obturator is removed and replaced with the inner cannula, which locks in place. The same size sterile tracheostomy tube should be available at the bedside for easy access in case of accidental decannulation. A tracheostomy tube is the preferred method of airway maintenance in a patient who needs intubation for more than 14 to 21 days.

Each case must be reviewed individually. The body responds by increasing mucus production. Also, ciliary movement is impaired, which limits the forward movement of the mucociliary escalator.

Because the tracheostomy bypasses the upper airway and its protective and hydrating mechanisms, patients are at increased risk of infection. Lack of hydration by the upper airway can lead to thick mucus, which increases the risk of airway obstruction.

Tracheostomy patients should receive continuous humidified air or oxygen for this reason. Also, care of the patient, such as suctioning, oral care, and ability to meet nutritional needs, is simplified.

Bright frank bleeding or constant oozing is not expected and should be brought to the attention of the physician or advanced practice nurse. An extra pair of hands can minimize the risk for accidental dislodgment. Involve patient and family members in ongoing education, particularly if a home discharge with the tracheostomy is anticipated.

Rationale: Education to the patient and family encourages cooperation and compliance and reduces anxiety. Rationale: Tube irritation to mucosa results in increased production of secretions.

Prior to performing a procedure, the nurse should ensure the correct identification of the patient for the intended intervention.
