Closed Suctioning of Intubated Neonates Maintains Better Physiologic Stability: A Randomized Trial
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the physiological variance in a closed (CS) vs an open suction (OS) protocol in intubated infants.STUDY DESIGN: Infants were stratified into three weight groups in a randomized crossover trial. Heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, transcutaneous oxygen and carbon dioxide, and end-tidal carbon dioxide were recorded prior to suctioning, during suctioning, and recovery to baseline. Following the …
