Abstract and Introduction. Objective: To provide a comprehensive, evidence-based review of pediatric endotracheal suctioning: effects, indications, and clinical practice. Methods: PubMed, Cumulative ...

Forty-three clinical trials and systematic reviews were identified, of which 14 were initially excluded as they either did not evaluate suctioning specifically or they concerned the adult age ...

Historically, suctioning an endotracheal (ET) tube has been used routinely to remove pulmonary secretions that can block an endotracheal tube and impair air exchange in intubated patients of all ages.

Endotracheal suctioning is a critical intervention utilised in intensive care units to ensure airway patency and optimise gas exchange in mechanically ventilated patients. This procedure, whether ...

Endotracheal extubation — the removal of an endotracheal tube from the trachea — is frequently performed in operating rooms, ... as should a suction device for the removal of airway secretions.

Placement of a double-lumen endotracheal tube is an airway management technique ... Care must be taken to minimize aerosolization when the ventilatory circuit is open for bronchoscopy or suctioning.

No desaturation occurred in 71.8% of infants in the high-flow group compared with 60.6% of those in the standard-care group (adjusted risk difference 13.1%, 95% CI 4.1-22.1).

Kimberly-Clark has launched the KimVent MICROCUFF Subglottic Suctioning Endotracheal Tube, which is the first to be FDA-cleared for saline use. The tub offers more effective subglottic suctioning ...

In dogs, endotracheal intubation is often necessary for surgery, dental prophylaxis, ... making it necessary to remove these secretions by suctioning through the endotracheal tube.

After 24 hours of intubation, a CT scan of the neck showed entrapment of the posterior tracheal mucosa into the suction port orifice of the endotracheal tube in all patients. Bronchoscopy showed a ...

On February 20, 2024, Medline Industries, LP initiated a nationwide recall of 6 SubG Endotracheal Tubes with Subglottic Suction and 10 kits that contain these devices. The inflation tube and other ...

Students can work on procedures like endotracheal suctioning and get immediate feedback on how they're doing, which really boosts their learning and confidence.
