Airway Management
Psychosocial consequences of airway suctioning often occur. patients who remember the suctioning report it as painful, suffocating,
or stressful. Patients recalled some of the physiological resulm of
suctioning, such as sleep disturbances, tachycardia, confusion, shortness of breath, and dizziness (Lindgren and Ames, 2005).

therapie:
Some medications such as beta-adrenergic blockers have tht
side effect of bronchospasm. An adverse effect of opioids anJ
sedatives is respiratory depression. Similarly, too much oxyger.
reduces the drive to breathe in patienrs with chronic hypercapnia (elevated arterial carbon dioxide tension). Some po.:tion changes affect the patient adversely. For example, in patients with impaired spinal cord innervarions of the respirator,
muscles, supine positions place the diaphragm ar a mechanic.disadvantage and increase the risk for aspiration.

Yankauer, or tonsillar tip, suction device is used for oropharynA Yankauer sucrion carherer is made of
rigid, minimally flexible plastic. The tip of this suction carherer
usualLy has one large and several small eyelets through which the
mucus enters with application of negative pressure. The Yankauer
suction catheter is angled to faciiitate removal ofpharyngeal secretions through the mouth. This catheter ls used instead of a standard suction catheter when oral secretions are extremely copious
and thick because it can handle large volumes of secretions better
than a standard suction catheter. The Yankauer suction catheter is
not used to suction the nares because of its size.
The Yankauer suction device is useful in the removal of secretions from the mouth in patients after oral and maxiLlofacial surgery,
trauma to the mouth, or neurovascular injury and cerebrovascular
geal suctioning (Fig. 25-1).
**3*gati*:: Consideratiens
The skill of performing oropharyngeal (Yankauer) sucrioning ca-r
be delegated to nursing assistive personnel (NAP). Do not routinel.,
delegate this skill for parlents with oral or neck surgery in the ir:mediate postoperative period. The nurse is responsible for assessin.
the patientt respiratory status. The nurse directs rhe NAP about:
o Appropriate suction limits for oropharyngeal suctioning for th.
particular patient, for example, the appropriate suction pre.,
sure, expected frequency of suctioning, and the expected colci
and volume of secretions.
r The risks of applying excessive or inadequate sucrion pressure.
r Avoiding mouth sutures, applying suction against sensitir':
tissues, and dislodging tubes in the patient's nose or mouth.
o Avoiding stimulation of the gag reflex.
