Nasotracheal suctioning is a specialized skill used to remove secretions or debris from the lungs through the nose or mouth using a suction catheter. It is typically performed on patients who are unable to effectively clear their airways due to illness or injury. This procedure requires specific training and knowledge of anatomy, equipment, and infection control to minimize the risk of complications. Proper technique and monitoring are critical to ensure patient safety and effectiveness of the procedure.
