Background: Saline instillation in suctioning mechanically ventilated patients remains a common practice in the intensive. Care unit (ICU). Many respiratory therapists and nurses are using saline with suctioning without an adequate knowledge of. The current evidence-based research to guide this practice.
Objectives:The purpose of this study was to determine if this routine method is beneficial or harmful to the patients and provide. Evidence-based practice recommendations that will serve as a guide for practice.
Methods: This is a comprehensive review. On the use of saline instillation in suctioning mechanically ventilated adult ICU patients. Database such as CINAHL MEDLINE,,, ,, Cochrane PsycINFOAnd national guidelines are extracted for the review of literature. The study population consists of patients 18 years. Or older who are, intubated or have a tracheostomy in place requiring ventilation and, mechanical, who are admitted in the. ICU.
Results: Although most of the evidence suggests not to use saline, when suctioningThere are various limitations to the studies such as small sample size settings inconsistencies in data,,,, collection or Not enough or outdated research, clinical trials which calls for further studies.
Conclusion: This study does not support. The use of saline instillation when suctioning an artificial airway.Further clinical trials are crucial to effectively determine if saline instillation use with suctioning an artificial airway. Is deemed harmful which can, be strictly enforced as a mandatory clinical guideline for all hospitals to include in their. Standardized protocol to not use saline instillation with suctioning.
