What are the complications of sputum suction, and what are the causes and complications of sputum co

Complications due to suctioning include:

1. Hypoxia, if the sputum suction time is relatively long, and the sputum suction tube is relatively thick, it may cause gas exchange, thus causing hypoxia.

2. Injury to the respiratory mucosa, if the action is rough when suctioning, it may cause damage to the respiratory mucosa.

3. Arrhythmia, some people will have arrhythmia during sputum suction, but if the symptoms are relatively mild, then no special treatment is required, and oxygen inhalation should be given after sputum suction.

4. Respiratory tract spasm, if it is a person with sensitive respiratory tract, then relevant drugs can be given to prevent it before sputum suction.

5. Secondary staining is mainly caused by not following aseptic operation.

Extended Materials. Precautions for sputum suction:

Clause. 1. Operators must strictly adhere to the principle of aseptic operation.

Clause. 2. Prepare sputum suction supplies, bring them to the bedside, and check whether the sputum suction tube is unobstructed, and whether the central sputum suction machine and sputum suction device can operate normally.

Clause. 3. Suctioning phlegm from the mouth first, and then sucking phlegm from the nasal cavity.

Clause. Fourth, different methods should be adopted for different patients when suctioning, such as coma patients, pay attention to the patient's mouth as much as possible, pad the tooth pad, and remove the dentures. If tracheal intubation and tracheostomy are to be put on the machine, suctioning should be performed through intubation or endotracheal cannula.

Clause. 5. Suction should be gentle and rapid, the sputum suctioning time should not exceed 15 seconds at a time, and the sputum suctioning should not exceed 4 times in a row. If the patient needs to suction, with an interval of 3 to 5 minutes, the patient has severe hypoxia, oxygen can be given before and after suctioning, and the patient can resume the stability of vital signs, and then carry out the corresponding suction.

When suctioning, the sputum suction tube should be as vertical as possible, do not suck to the trachea wall, so as not to suction, suctioning the tracheal mucosa, resulting in bleeding, too much sputum during sputum suction, and the amount of sputum other sputum bottles can not exceed 2 3 high, try to pour it out in time.

Clause. 6. After suctioning, instruct the patient and his family to observe at any time, closely observe, and call medical staff immediately if there is a situation.

Sputum suction is a very effective emergency method, for patients with upper respiratory tract infection that causes excessive sputum secretion and affects respiratory ability, it has an immediate effect. With suctioning, most patients will immediately relieve symptoms and restore normal respiratory function, which in turn can greatly improve the quality of life. However, sputum suction** may also cause mechanical damage and even induce complications during the operation.

So, the causes of complications of sputum aspiration and how to treat the complications of sputum suction, let's ask Jiang Qinghe, deputy chief physician of the Respiratory Department of Liaocheng People's Hospital, to give us a detailed introduction.

What are the causes of sputum suction complications?

Suction complications are common infection, esophageal mucosal injury, and bleeding. When there is a lot of sputum in the trachea and lungs, and the sputum is viscous and difficult to cough out, you can insert a sputum suction device into the trachea to suck out the sputum inside, reduce the blockage of the trachea by sputum, and restore normal breathing. In general, suctioning is performed normally and there are few complications unless it is done incorrectly.

For example, poor disinfection can lead to bacterial infections that can lead to bronchitisImproper manipulation may cause mucosal rupture and bleeding;If the sputum aspirator enters the esophagus, it can also damage the esophageal mucosa, but these conditions are very rare.

How to treat the complications of sputum suction?

Suction complications require symptomatic management based on specific characteristics. For example, if sputum suction causes damage to the mucosa of the oral trachea, anti-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to prevent infection. If the tooth is loose and falls out, a tooth fixation can be done.

Lost teeth can be cleaned out in time to prevent them from entering the trachea. If nausea or vomiting is caused, antiemetic medications** may be used. If bronchial asthma is induced, trachea-dilating, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergy medications** may be used.

Dr. Jiang Qinghe gave us a detailed introduction to the complications of sputum suction, and suggested that you can learn more. However, patients should be in a correct state of mind, the complications caused by sputum suction are generally not particularly serious, and compared with the physical damage caused by the disease, the complications caused by sputum suction are not uncontrollable and unacceptable. Therefore, if necessary, patients are advised to take suctioning measures in a timely manner under the guidance of a doctor.

Hello: Frequent coughing up of phlegm can cause bronchial diseases, acute and chronic tracheobronchitis, bronchial asthma, endobronchial tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, primary bronchial cancer, liver abscess to the chest cavity rupture to form bronchial fistula, etc.;Pulmonary diseases of various causes of pneumonia (bacterial, disease-induced toxicity, mycoplasma, fungal, etc.), tuberculosis, lung abscess, pulmonary infarction, pulmonary edema, diffuse pulmonary interstitial delicate, sarcoidosis, pneumoconiosis, etc. Matching.
