Analysis of the Positive Effects of Optimizing the Sequence of Attracting and Suctioning Below the Glottis on the Incidence of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of optimizing the subglottic suction and aspiration sequence on ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) incidence.

Methods: A total of 108 patients undergoing transcatheter orotracheal intubation with subglottic secretion drainage (SSD) and mechanical ventilation were selected from the Department of Critical Care Medicine in our hospital between September 2021 and March 2023. The patients were randomly assigned to either the observation group or the control group (54 cases each) using a random number method. In the control group, patients underwent manual airway suction followed by subglottic suction with -100 mmHg pressure. In the observation group, subglottic suction with -100 mmHg pressure was performed first, followed by manual airway suction. The comparative analysis included blood gas parameters, sputum suction effectiveness, VAP occurrence, 28-day morbidity and mortality rates, tracheal secretion culture results, and the workload of nurses.

Results: The observation group exhibited significantly shorter tape replacement time, sputum suction time, and number of suctions, along with a longer suction interval compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Post-suctioning, the observation group demonstrated improved blood gas function and a lower incidence of VAP (P < .05). No significant difference in adverse reaction incidence was observed between the two groups (P > .05); however, the Kolcaba score was higher in the observation group (P < .05).

Conclusions: Pre-endotracheal intubation oral and nasal sputum suctioning proves effective in reducing the risk of VAP, lessening the workload of nurses, and enhancing the comfort of sputum suctioning.
