Introduction: Endotracheal tube suctioning is important for enhance oxygenation in the patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. There are two kinds of shallow and deep endotracheal tube suctioning. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of shallow and deep suctioning methods on respiratory fee (RR), arterial blood oxygen saturation (real-time SPO2 tracking) and number of suctioning in patients hospitalized in the intensive care items of Al-Zahra Hospital, Isfahan, Iran. Methods: In this randomized managed trial, seventy four patients who hospitalized within the intensive care models of Isfahan Al-Zahra Hospital had been randomly allocated to the shallow and deep suctioning teams. RR and SpO2 were measured instantly before, instantly after, 1 and 3 minute after every suctioning. Number of suctioning was also famous in each groups. Data had been analyzed using repeated measures analysis of variance (RMANOVA), chi-sq. and impartial t-tests. Results: RR was considerably elevated and SpO2 was considerably decreased after every suctioning within the each groups. However, these changes weren't vital between the 2 teams. The numbers of suctioning was significantly higher within the shallow suctioning group than in the deep suctioning group. Conclusion: Shallow and deep suctioning had an identical impact on RR and SpO2. However, shallow suctioning brought on additional manipulation of patient’s trachea than deep suctioning methodology. Therefore, it seems that deep endotracheal tube suctioning technique can be utilized to scrub the airway with lesser manipulation of the trachea. |
