Question:
The ALS PCS shows specific suction settings (based on age) for tracheostomy and ETT but what about for oropharyngeal suctioning? Weve all been taught the values in school but I cant for the life of me find a specific and reputable reference.
Answer:
The same target suctioning pressures and ETT for tracheostomy can be used for orophpharyngeal suctioning.
