ALTERATION IN BLOOD OXYGEN LEVEL DUE TO BAG AND TUBE VENTILATION BEFORE SUCTIONING AMONG PATIENTS ON MECHANICAL VENTILATORBy Jyoti K, Nidhi Sharma
Abstract: Patient on ventilator suffer from gag reflex and hyper ventilation during suctioning. Hyper oxygenation before and after suctioning should be performed to decrease the occurrence of arterial desaturation with suctioning. Hypoxemia can be minimized by preoxygenating the patient with 100% oxygen prior to suctioning and between each pass of the suction catheter. This is mainly done by pushing 100% oxygen with bag device. The duration of each suction pass should …
