Abstract<\/h2>\n

Purpose<\/h3>\n

Examine common and uncommon methods to clarify how suctioning is implemented.<\/p>\n

Background<\/h3>\n

It is important for patients with endotracheal suctioning to keep the airway clear; therefore, there is a need to examine the performance of suctioning tehchniques which are safety, invasive and effective. Although guidelines have been created, they are often passed from senior to junior staff members conducted in continuing education facilities in both hospitals and workshops. Therefore the role and influence of the Certified Intensive Care Nurse who is qualified to lead the intensive care clinical and critical care practice is essential.
\nIn clinical settings, the two suction methods of traditional and evidence based practices exist together.<\/p>\n

Materials & Methods<\/h3>\n

Self-designed questionnaire survey. The questionnaire requested the recognition of 295 nurses out
\nof 471 recognized nurses overall. The recognized nurses are Japanese Certified Intensive Care Nurses.<\/p>\n

Results<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. There were 151 qualified answers out of the 295 research questionnaires.<\/li>\n
  2. Following is the result of the comparison of two prefered methods to the current guideline practices.<\/li>\n
  3. Guideline performance: There were 71(47%) of respondents who answered “Basically, we don’t use the nebulizer”<\/li>\n
  4. Accept the guideline but do not prefer them (Method which is not prefered by the guideline but allows it.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Conclusion<\/h3>\n

    Of the two unified methods more than 80% of the nurses agreed that shortening the suctioning time and assisting inspiration was benificial. They considered shortening the suctioning time decreased pain.
    \nMethods which 20% to 79% of nurses agreed that the insertion depth of a suctioning tube and the existence of
    \nturning the tube, and its implementation based on evidence from experiences which differed from the guidelines. Therefore, evidence suggests that there is no common shared technique. There were also some misunderstandings in terms of the guidelines and a lack of skill assessment.<\/p>\n
