  28. Mechanical Ventilation • Indication: respiratory failure • Recommendations • VT = 10-15 mL/kg • Rate = 60-80 breaths/min • FiO2 = 0.40 • Ventilator mode: assisted control • Inspiratory flow = 50% • Peak pressure = 50 cm H2O • I:E ratio = 1:2 • Humidifier temperature = 35˚C

  29. 3. Tracheostomy Tube Suctioning and Cleaning • Tracheostomy tube consists of: inner canula, obturator, ties and fenestrations • Remove accumulated secretions to: • facilitate patient comfort • increase respiratory efficiency • decrease risk of complete airway obstruction • decrease the risk of infection • Clean the inner cannula - done twice a day - done by immersing it in hydrogen peroxide and then rinse with normal saline • Clean tracheostomy site with sterile cotton buds and normal saline • Replace soiled ties

  30. Catheter Insertion Female Catheterization • Half the catheter must be inserted before inflating the balloon. • Place it in the urethral meatus. • From the urethral meatus, catheter advances towards the bladder as it proceeds in a slightly upward direction.

  31. Catheter Insertion Male Catheterization • Insert at least 24cm before inflating the balloon. • Place the distal urethra in a slight stretch straight up to straighten the urethra. • Catheter then needs only a single curve on its way to the bladder.
