Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of two methods for deep endotracheal suction.Methods Forty patients who had ineffective airway clearance or lung infections or refused suction were randomly divided into observation group (n=21) and control group (n=19).Temporay airway was established by using oropharyngeal airway.Then,the control group received subglottic suction after pading the shoulder with ordinary pillow (≤10cm),while the observation group received subglottic suction after pading the shoulder with homemade pillow (=15cm).The two groups were compared in terms of sputum suction effect and mucosal injury.Results There was no incidence of mucosal injury in the observation group but three in the control group.The times of suctioning in the observation group were fewer than those of the control group and the volume for suctioning was larger as well (allP<0.05).Conclusion Deep endotracheal suction through oropharyngeal airway,shoulder elevation for 15cm,temporary indwelling of suction tubes can achieve better suction effect without corresponding complications.
