The video concludes with a successful suction procedure, emphasizing the improvement in the child's breathing.

Takeaways

• 😀 Proper preparation of suction equipment is essential for performing suction on infants or children, including a suction machine, sterile catheter, and personal protective equipment (PPE).
• 😀 Ensure that the suction machine is properly set up and powered by connecting it to the electricity and turning it on using the power button.
• 😀 The vacuum pressure for suction should be set between 80-100 mmHg for infants, and up to 120 mmHg for adults, depending on the patient's age and condition.
• 😀 The suction machine is equipped with a pressure gauge to regulate and monitor the suction level, ensuring safe and effective suctioning.
• 😀 Always check the expiration date of medical supplies, including the sterile catheter, to ensure their effectiveness and safety.
• 😀 A bacterial filter is used in the suction machine to prevent bacteria from entering the device, ensuring hygiene during the suction process.
• 😀 Prepare saline or sterile water to rinse the catheter after use, ensuring it is clean and ready for future use.
• 😀 Positioning the patient properly (such as tilting the infant to one side) is crucial to ensure a smooth suction process and prevent discomfort.
• 😀 The suction process is generally quick, usually taking around one minute, and is performed to clear mucus from the patient’s airway for easier breathing.
• 😀 After the suction procedure, ensure that the suction machine is cleaned and disinfected, and the patient is comfortably repositioned for optimal breathing.
• 😀 The patient's condition should be monitored after the suction process, as additional treatments like steaming may be necessary to further clear mucus from the airway.

Q & A

What is the first piece of equipment required for suctioning a child or baby?

The first piece of equipment required is a suction machine, which will be used to clear the airways.

Why is it important to check the expiry date on the catheter before use?

It is important to check the expiry date to ensure that the catheter is sterile and safe to use.

What size catheter is recommended for children?

A size 8 catheter is recommended for children, as it is appropriate for their airway size.

What should you do to ensure proper hygiene when performing suctioning?

Proper hygiene can be maintained by wearing sterile gloves and a mask, using sterile equipment, and disinfecting the tools after use.

How is the suction machine turned on?

The suction machine is turned on by flipping the power switch from the 'Off' position to the 'On' position.

What is the maximum vacuum pressure setting for children on the suction machine?

The maximum vacuum pressure setting for children is 100, ensuring the suction is strong enough to clear the airway but not harmful.

Why is it necessary to monitor the vacuum pressure on the suction machine?

Monitoring the vacuum pressure is necessary to ensure that the suction is at a safe level, as too much pressure could damage the airway or cause discomfort.

What is the role of the bacterial filter in the suction machine?

The bacterial filter prevents harmful bacteria or pathogens from entering the machine, ensuring the suction process remains sterile.

How long should the suctioning procedure last?

The suctioning procedure should last no more than 1-2 minutes to avoid causing any harm or irritation to the child’s airway.

What should be done after the suctioning procedure is completed?

After suctioning, the equipment should be properly cleaned and disinfected, and the child should be monitored for any signs of distress or discomfort.
