140. You are suctioning a patient’s tracheostomy. What is the critical technical consideration to prevent hypoxia?

  • Suction for prolonged periods (e.g., over 30 seconds)
  • Apply suction while inserting the catheter
  • Limit suction passes to 10-15 seconds and hyperoxygenate before/after
  • Use sterile technique only for catheter insertion, not for withdrawal
