Airway Suctioning

Airway Suctioning

Airway suctioning is a procedure routinely performed in inpatient and outpatient settings. It is important to maintain the patency of the natural or artificial airway to allow for adequate airflow for gas exchange. It is essential for all healthcare personnel and family members who take care of patients with an artificial airway to be familiar with this procedure and potential complications to minimize adverse outcomes. This activity reviews the indications, preparation, and technique needed by the interprofessional team to perform this simple procedure in different settings.
