Suction Catheter for Sale

Steps for Using a Suction Catheter

1. Switch on the suction device and maintain negative pressure.

2. Connect the suction tube to the suction pipe and make sure that the seal is good.

3. Remove the suction tube using aseptic technique.

4. Insert the suction tube slowly into the airway (e.g. nasal, oral, tracheal cannula, etc.) and do not suction during insertion to avoid mucosal damage.

5. When the desired depth is reached, suction is initiated, and the tube is withdrawn with slow rotation and negative pressure for no more than 10-15 seconds.

6. Repeat the procedure as necessary, with an interval of 30 seconds to 1 minute between each operation.

7. Give the patient oxygen if necessary.
