"the suction catheter is not like a magnet..." Lolol 😂. Okay now, serious question here, My teacher was very strict about telling us to do intermittent suctioning while coming out of the airway, meaning, don't just hammer down on it. Is this the same now or different?
Hi, Heather. Same now. Continuous applied suction is associated with increased mucosal trauma and edema. With time and experience you get the feel for the appropriate level of intermittent suctioning. Hey, thanks for watching!
