The recommended suction catheter is based on the size of tracheostomy tube. If the suction catheter is too large it may occlude the tracheostomy tube and cause difficulty in breathing. If the suction catheter is too small it.

If suctioning an endotracheal tube or a patient with a tracheostomy either a closed suctioning system in-line suctioning or an open suction catheter may be used. For pediatric patients suction vacuums should be between 60 and 80 mm HG.

Using a spare tracheostomy tube of the same type and size and a suction catheter insert the suction catheter to measure the distance from the length of the tracheostomy tube 15mm connector to the end of the tracheostomy tube.

2 This chart makes no recommendation for the selection of suction catheters for use with tracheal tubes having an internal diameter of less than 25mm. 3 Care must be taken when suctioning paediatric and neo-natal tracheal tubes in. Select appropriate size suction catheter not more than half the diameter of the tracheostomy tube see guidelines for brand of tracheostomy tube.

A calculated suction-catheter-to-endotracheal-tube ratio of 50 of the endotracheal tube area or 50 of the endotracheal tube volume is equivalent to 70 of the endotracheal tube diameter.

A ratio of 70 al-lows the clinician to determine the proper suction cath-eter size by. The current American Association for Respiratory Care clinical practice guidelines recommend choosing suction catheter size based on the external diameter of the suction catheter and the internal diameter of the endotracheal tube. A ratio of 50 is recommended to prevent suctioning-related complications including hypoxemia.

The size of the suction catheter depends on the size of the tracheostomy tube. Size 6 8 or 10 French are typical sizes for neonatal and pediatric trach tubes. The larger the number the larger the diameter of the suction catheter.

Suction Catheters Size The catheter size should ideally be less than half the diameter of the tracheostomy tube. The following is a useful simple way of calculating recommended catheter size. Add 4 to current tube size eg.

Trachseal closed suction systems are available for 24 hour or 72 hour usage depending on patient requirements. There are two length options to allow attachment to either endotracheal or tracheostomy tubes. The endotracheal products feature a catheter length of 54cm and the tracheostomy tube variants have a catheter length of 305cm.

With your finger off the suction vent so that you are not applying suction gently insert the suction catheter into the tracheostomy opening. Slowly advance the catheter a. 323 Catheter size length The suction catheter should not totally occlude the airway2326.

The recommendation for size of catheter is one of not more than half the inside diameter of the endotracheal tube ODID 2of 21 32436. The catheter should be inserted to a pre-determined length and should not be advanced beyond the ET tube tip3136. With NO suction applied slide the catheter gently into the mini tracheostomy tube until resistance is felt.

And no more than 15cm. The patient will probably cough prior to this point. When you feel resistance withdraw the suction catheter slightly 1cm to avoid.
