Before suctioning, the nurse gives the client oxygen
to prevent hypoxemia and hypoxia while removing air
and debris from the upper airway. After inserting the
catheter, the nurse positions the tip at the desired level,
usually 6″ to 10″ (15 to 25 cm), occludes the vent, and
twists the catheter to remove it. Afterward, the client is
reoxygenated a second time. Usually, cleaning the tracheostomy stoma is done last after the sterile procedure
is completed, following the general principal of: clean to
dirty.
