background endotracheal suctioning is a necessary procedure practiced by nurses in intensive care units to remove lung secretions. this procedure leads to higher oxygenation levels and reduced breathing difficulties. it also prevents atelectasis, pulmonary infections, and the accumulation of secretions. objectives the present study aims to compare the effectiveness of open and closed endotrache...

background : mechanical ventilation is used for some infants in neonatal intensive care units (nicu) due to many physiological and clinical causes. since these patients have endotracheal tubes, cleaning and keeping the airways open through suctioning should be done to increase oxygenation. this study aimed to evaluate effect of open and closed suctioning methods on respiratory parameters of inf...

abstract background: the aim of this study was to compare changes in pain, oxygenation, and ventilation following endotracheal suctioning with open and closed suctioning systems in post coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) patients. materials and methods: 130 post cabg mechanically ventilated patients were randomly allocated to undergo either open (n = 75) or closed (n = 55) endotracheal suct...

Aim. This study was aimed at comparing the effects of the open and closed suctioning techniques on the arterial blood gas values in patients undergoing open-heart surgery. Methods. In a clinical trial, we recruited 42 patients after open-heart surgery in an educational hospital. Each patient randomly underwent both open and closed suctioning. ABGs, PaO2, SaO2, PaCO2, were analyzed before and on...

BACKGROUND Closed endotracheal suctioning during mechanical ventilation is increasingly used, but its impact on ventilator function has not been fully studied. METHODS We evaluated the impact of closed suctioning with 11 critical-care ventilators, during assisted ventilation in pressure-support mode, pressure-assist/control mode, volume-assist/control mode, and during continuous positive airw...

AIMS Mechanical ventilation is used for some infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) due to many physiological and clinical causes. Since these patients have endotracheal tubes, cleaning and keeping the airways open through suctioning should be done to increase oxygenation. This study aimed to evaluate effect of open and closed suctioning methods on respiratory parameters of infants und...

abstract background: endotracheal suctioning (ets) is an essential procedure performed for mechanically ventilated patients. ets can be either performed by open or closed suctioning system (css). there may be some concern on how closed‑system ets is practiced by intensive care nurses. this study was designed to investigate closed‑system ets practices of critical care nurses and to compare their...

Background: If not done properly, suction causes complications such as hypoxia, cardiac arrhythmias or even death. Suction is being used in most hospital wards. Closed Suction appears to have fewer side effects, although studies have reported dissimilar results. Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of open (control) with closed (test) endotracheal suctioning on patients’ Hemodyn...
