気管内挿管 II: 看護管理

Before intubation, nurses must be familiar with intubation equipment and ensure the crash cart is nearby.

Next, they must prepare the patient by inserting an IV line for administering premedications.

During intubation, nurses assist the healthcare provider by handling equipment, monitoring tube placement, and patient oxygenation.

After inserting the tube, nurses inflate the cuff to the desired pressure and continue to oxygenate the patient using a bag-valve mask.

Nurses assist in securing the endotracheal tube and connecting the patient to the ventilator.

Following intubation, nurses must ensure patients receive prescribed oxygen support and provide sufficient humidity to prevent oropharyngeal dryness.

Regular oral care and suctioning are necessary to reduce infection and prevent aspiration.

Monitor cuff pressure to lower the risk of tracheal necrosis and use a bite block to prevent tube biting.

Turn the patient's head to the side to prevent aspiration.

Reposition the patient bihourly to avoid secretion buildup.
