Overview

Hypoxia and hypoxemia are among the most common complications of endotracheal suctioning. These complications are often mitigated by the administration of oxygen 100% prior to endotracheal suctioning. Although several studies have supported the application of this method, none have yet specified the exact duration of pre-oxygenation required to be performed before endotracheal suctioning. The present book was therefore conducted to determine the effect of the duration of pre-oxygenation before endotracheal suctioning on heart rate and arterial oxygen saturation in patients in intensive care units. The present experimental book was conducted on 63 eligible ICU patients under mechanical ventilation and divided into three groups. Pre-oxygenation was carried out for 30 seconds in the first group, for one minute in the second group and for two minutes in the third group. All three groups were then hyper-oxygenated for one minute. Arterial oxygen saturation and heart rate were recorded on different occasions in the three groups. The data obtained were analyzed using the ANOVA, the one-way ANOVA, the post-hoc test and the repeated measure ANOVA.According to the results obtained, one-minute and two-minute pre-oxygenations cause less disruption in arterial oxygen saturation compared to a 30-second pre-oxygenation. To achieve stability in arterial oxygen saturation and avoid hypoxemia caused by endotracheal suctioning, one-minute or two-minute pre-oxygenation is recommended in ICUs depending on the patient's clinical conditions.
