What is Tracheostomy Suctioning Procedures about?

Tracheal suctioning is performed to remove secretions from the trachea and maintain an open airway. It is important to carefully follow aseptic technique and insert the suction catheter no more than 1 cm past the tracheostomy tube to avoid damaging the tracheal mucosa. Assessments are made to determine the need for suctioning and appropriate catheter depth. Suctioning is performed using sterile equipment while explaining the procedure to the patient and monitoring for pain or respiratory distress.
