NCLEX Tips for Trach Care: 😮‍💨 Trach care is sterile: Always maintain sterility ❗🌟REMEMBER: we start out sterile, but once we begin cleaning debris from the trach and replacing old with new, we don’t stay sterile! 😮‍ Keep emergency equipment at bedside: Bag valve mask (BVM), suction supplies, replacement tracheostomy tube, obturator 😮‍ Monitor for signs of infection: Redness, swelling, or discharge 😮‍ Ensure adequate humidification: Prevent mucous plugging 😮‍ Keep airway clear: Suction as necessary 😮‍ Pre-oxygenate: Before and after suctioning 😮‍ Dislodged Cannula? Call for help, attempt reinsertion, use BVM over nose/mouth if needed #nursingnotes #NCLEXprep #RN #LPN #nursingschool #nursingstudent #nurseinthemaking
