This is a little unrealistic in the real world. If someone is needing suctioning, you must work very fast. Also, they likely won't be able to take deep breaths before suctioning them. So what you will likely find happen is you can give oxygen while setting up, then suction them initially before asking them to take deep breaths. If you ask them to take deep breaths with a mucus plug, they could end up choking, or inhaling the mucus leading to pneumonia. Between suctioning, then you can reapply oxygen mask so that their oxygen doesn't dip too low. This is a tip from an experienced RN, that has worked with trach patients for many years.

Thank you for that lovely tutorial. We test out next week on this skill and your video was fantastic!

Depth of sunctioning is so important, generally 2 cms more than trachy size otherwise you are just causing discomfort and damage, and fear in the patient! Trachy size and depth of suctioning is so important!

It's awesome that the sterile gloves fit her so well. I hate how they are not even close to fitting me

Need to wear glove when touching trach area and need to wash/sanitize hands in b/n touching pt/things and before wearing gloves

[elimaydiaz]

It was a very detailed video, however, I wonder why you didn't wear a mask/mask with shield? Thank you.

[swatikumaridas]

Please keep the subtitles too.so that it would be more easier for us to remember.

I’m very observant and pay attention to all nurses, cnas, mds, actions in the hospital where my spouse is. When they do the procedure you are showing they never use the sterile gloves but the ones are in the boxes near the door.

It’s a great video with good content but the suction catheter when inserted inside shouldn’t be moved round i guess because it makes the patient cough and can hurt them.
and if the suction catheter is folded round like she did in her hands, is suction is 100%?

[jemmueljavier]

Ask the patient his first and last name while on trach???

[zainabrukiabil]

You are wearing ring and watch.that is not good sign
