Answer to Question 1

A
Suction catheters for pediatrics should be half the diameter of the child's tracheostomy tube.
The distance suctioned should be no greater than 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) beyond the tip of the artificial airway. To determine distance, the catheter is placed near a sample artificial airway. Hyperoxygenate with 100 oxygen in pediatric patients. Negative pressure for suctioning should not exceed 100 mm Hg.
