💨 Professional Guide to Choosing the Right Suction Catheter
Selecting an appropriate suction catheter is critical for maintaining airway patency and ensuring patient safety. The diameter should be approximately half the size of the endotracheal or tracheostomy tube to provide effective secretion removal without causing hypoxia or mucosal injury. The length must allow adequate reach while maintaining control during suctioning.
High-quality catheters, such as those made from medical-grade PVC or silicone, offer optimal flexibility and transparency for precise operation. Designs with smooth distal tips and lateral eyes minimize trauma and enhance suction efficiency.
