-100 to -120mm Hg - ✔✔What is normal range of negative pressure when suctioning a pedi patient ?
-120 to -150 mm Hg - ✔✔what is the normal range of negative pressure to use when suctioning an
adult patient?
-80 to -100 mm Hg - ✔✔What is the normal range of negative pressure when suctioning an infant?
-aid in routine tube cleaning and tracheostomy care
-provide a patent airway should it become obstructed - ✔✔The removable inner cannula commonly
incorporated into modern tracheostomy tubes serves what purposes?
-airway compromise
-respiratory failure
-need to protect the airway - ✔✔What general condition requires airway management?
-bronchospasms
-mucosal trauma
-elevated intracranial pressure - ✔✔what are the complications of tracheal suctioning
%
-decrease in Raw due to less length and increase in I.d
-ease of suctioning
-patient may tolerate better
-patient may use a speaking valve
-stable
-used in patients who require long term ventilatory support
-used in patients who require protection on lower airway
-used un patients who require assistance with secretion removal - ✔✔What are some advantages of
a tracheostomy
-decreased breath sounds
-decreased air flow through the tube
-if pt is receiving volume-controls ventilation, peak inspiratory pressure will rise
-delivery of tidal volumes will fall - ✔✔A spontaneously breathing patient with partial airway
obstruction will exhibit
-epiglottis
-croup - ✔✔what is the Absolute contraindication for nasotracheal suctioning ?

-Limit the amount of negative pressure - ✔✔What can help to minimize the likelihood of mucosal
trauma during suctioning?
-severe distress
