Document the procedure and related assessment findings. Insert the catheter into the patients tracheostomy tube using your sterile hand without applying suctioning: For shallow suctioning, insert the catheter the length of the tracheostomy tube before beginning any suctioning. Check to make sure the release detection equipment is operating with no alarms or other unusual operating conditions present; and. Lippincott procedures. Assess patency of the airway and pulse oximetry. Are reporting and recordkeeping necessary? If your leak detection fails, you may incur fines or penalties for noncompliance, as well as an expensive cleanup at your UST site. Use the checklist below to review the steps for completion of Oropharyngeal or Nasopharyngeal Suctioning.. Revised: December 28, 2021 (new material underlined) Revised Protocols for Personnel in Clinical and Direct Care Settings to Return to Work Following COVID-19 Exposure of Infection This advisory supersedes prior guidance from the New York State Office for People With Sorry, you need to enable JavaScript to visit this website. The test must be conducted each year. Check the room for transmission-based precautions. Open the suction catheter package faced away from you to maintain sterility. These UST systems must meet release detection requirements as follows: EPA recognizes the optional use of an Automated Interstitial Monitoring (AIM) system as meeting the federal pressurized piping release detection requirements. EPA provided an in-depth technical discussion of these systems and an introduction to owners and operators, respectively, in these two publications: To help owners and operators complete submitting certification of compliance for their AIM systems to their UST implementing agencies and meet periodic inspection and testing requirements, owners and operators may use the interactive PDF forms provided by EPA. (6) a device or devices capable of immobilizing the head of a patient who is secured to a long backboard. Explain the process to the patient and ask if they have any questions. Ensure the patients privacy and dignity. If unconscious, place the patient in the lateral position, facing you. Flush the catheter with saline. Suctioning is indicated when the patient is unable to clear secretions and/or when there is audible or visible evidence of secretions in the large/central airways that persist in spite of the patients best cough effort. For nasopharyngeal suctioning, gently insert the catheter through the naris and along the floor of the nostril toward the trachea.

Encourage the patient to take several deep breaths. Remove the sterile fluid and check the expiration date. What additional operation and maintenance activities will you need to do for your release detection? Place a towel or waterproof pad across the patients chest. Piping installed or replaced after April 11, 2016 must have secondary containment with interstitial monitoring, except suction piping that has characteristics listed above. Open the sterile container used for flushing the catheter and place it back into the kit. Gather supplies: Yankauer or suction catheter, suction machine or wall suction device, suction canister, connecting tubing, pulse oximeter, stethoscope, PPE (e.g., mask, goggles or face shield, nonsterile gloves), sterile gloves for suctioning with sterile suction catheter, towel or disposable paper drape, nonsterile basin or disposable cup, and normal saline or tap water. Portable Suction Device--portable unit that must produce a vacuum adequate to suction substances from the pharynx--a pressure of -80 to -120 mmHg is generally necessary to provide adequate suction. Test the suction and lubricate the sterile catheter by using your sterile hand to dip the end into the sterile saline while occluding the thumb control. Because detecting UST systems releases quickly helps stop contamination before it spreads from UST sites, EPA requires owners and operators detect releases from their UST systems. Withdraw the catheter while continually rotating it between your fingers to suction all sides of the tracheostomy tube. This page titled 22.4: Oropharyngeal and Nasopharyngeal Suctioning Checklist and Sample Documentation is shared under a CC BY-SA 4.0 license and was authored, remixed, and/or curated by Ernstmeyer & Christman (Eds.)
