Question: Your patient arrives to the floor from the ICU. The respiratory therapist sets them up before you enter the room and is called away to a Code Blue. The patient does not have a closed suction catheter attached to their high flow. The patient starts to cough and requires suctioning from their tracheostomy. What do you do next? Keep calling the respiratory therapist until he/she comes to suction the patient for you. Attached the closed suction catheter you found at the patient's bedside. Retrieve an appropriately-sized catheter (typically 14 French) from the Pyxis and suction your patient using a sterile technique. Call a rapid response. Need Assignment Help?
