Abstract
Endotracheal suctioning is a procedure to retnove secretion and mucous
from the respiratory tract. However, this procedure contributes cotnplications to
patient such as hypoxia, hypoxetnia, trauma to the tracheal tissue, cardiac
arrhythmias and also raises intracranial pressure.
The aim of the study were to explore nurse's practice in performing
endotracheal suctioning in the Intensive Care Unit HUSM and to investigate the
changes of Sp02 level, H/R and MAP before, immediately after, 5 and 10 minutes
after suctioning.
Thirty (30) nurses were involved in the study. A checklist was used to
observe the suctioning practices of the nurses. Changes of the Sp02, H/R and
MAP level were collected from patients' record and cardiac monitor.
The study shows that there were an increased or decreased of Sp02 level,
H/R and MAP before, immediately after, 5 minutes and 10 minutes of
endotracheal suctioning. Used of vacuum pressure for suctioning and suctioning
time practice by nurses did not met the standard requirement as suggested by
previous research.
Complications from improper suctioning technique could be prevented
with the practice of recommended endotracheal suctioning techniques.
