How to Use

1. Ensure hands are thoroughly washed and wear appropriate sterile gloves.
2. Connect the proximal end of the suction catheter to the suction source tubing.
3. Pre-oxygenate the patient as per medical protocol before initiating suctioning.
4. Gently insert the catheter into the patient's airway (trachea or bronchi) without applying suction.
5. Once the desired depth is reached, apply intermittent suction by occluding the control port.
6. Withdraw the catheter slowly while rotating it to suction secretions from all areas.
7. Limit suctioning time to typically 10-15 seconds per pass to avoid hypoxia.
8. Discard the used catheter and gloves in an appropriate biohazard container after a single use.
9. Assess the patient's respiratory status post-suctioning.
