Hi quick question, Wouldn't it be easier to use clean gloves to pour on the saline and h2o2 into the tray, remove the old dressing and throw it away, remove the inner cannula and place it in the tray, discard the clean gloves and THEN set that sterile drape first? Just so when you don sterile, you wouldn't need to break sterile to removing the old dressing

Appreciate you sharing knowledge to nurses! A couple small tips from an RT. When setting your suction pressure, measure it by occluding the suction tubing and not to open air. This measures how much potential suction pressure you're using on their airway to limit damage. Usually suction pressures are 80-100 for neonates, 100-120 for pediatrics, and 120-140 for adults. Lastly, once you've passed your catheter down and hit resistance or they cough, pull back slightly* and then begin suctioning. This prevents accidental suctioning near the carina.

Insertion of the inner cannula direction is definitely not correct. You may want to correct this or update your video to note this is not the correct direction to insert. Usually you insert with the curve upward direction and rotate as your anatomy would have the cannula curving down.

The way I was instructed to clean the stoma and keep the field sterile was a double wipe system with the gauze. Use a mix of sterile water and hydrogen peroxide on the first pass, always moving from the stoma outward, then the second pass sterile water only. Use the gauze, fold it so there’s always a clean surface on the neck. Soak the inner tube in the sterile water/H2O2 solution, scrub with brush, rinse in the sterile water, then re-insert. I may have to use the included tie when changing the neck band, because I’ve already had one incident where he coughed the whole trach tube out. (he didn’t hold onto it as instructed)
@klfrteduc2409
Жыл бұрын
you should check with your hospital's policy for trach care, most do not use hydrogen peroxide anymore during trach care. It is very caustic to the skin. If it is a non-disposable inner cannula that is crusty then you can soak it in a mixture of this, only if the brush didn't remove the dried secretions. the mixture, if you must use it, should be 1 part H2O2 to 3 parts water but try not to get it on the skin.
