2-PORT SUCTION CATHETER

Suction catheter with control hole for better suction adjustment. It is sterile, disposable, 50 cm long, suitable for the suction of mucus and secretions from the respiratory system. With a crystalline surface for easy penetration Lined in centimeters The hardness of the catheter is suitable so that it does not bend. N.10 Black N.12 White N.14 Green N.16 Orange TIK suction catheter in general TIK suction catheters are essential consumables for tracheobronchial suction. Suction is the removal of secretions from the lungs through the trachea with a special tube. A special device and catheter are required. The special catheter, which sucks the secretions, is inserted through the mouth, nose or through a tube that has been applied to the trachea or mouth (tracheal tube or endotracheal tube). A necessary condition for performing suction is the patient's inability to expel the secretions by coughing. The suction catheter is made of an elastic, flexible material that usually does not cause injury to the patient. Its size varies from 8 to 18 Ch. Sizes 8 and 10 Ch are mainly used in children. The importance of bronchosuctions is important for the adequate ventilation of patients and for the prevention of infections from the respiratory system, resulting in a reduction in the lethargy of patients. Their performance is a necessary therapeutic intervention in daily nursing care. Performing the procedure with strict aseptic technique is of utmost importance as hospital-acquired pneumonia in intubated patients is the second most common hospital-acquired infection and the most common cause of death in patients with hospital-acquired infections. REASONS WHY IT SHOULD BE DONE: Clearing the airways Avoiding infections due to stasis of secretions Improving respiratory function Activation of the cough reflex through irritation of the trachea Culturing secretions to detect microbes FOR WHOM Bedridden with labored breathing Inability to expel secretions Aural sounds – indication of secretion collection Feeling of distress in the patient
