About this trial
Subglottic suctioning, as an important airway management technique, has its operational accuracy and safety directly impacting patient prognosis. Therefore, improving the effectiveness and safety of subglottic suctioning has become a focus of clinical attention. Point-of-care ultrasound, which can provide imaging, can be used to guide subglottic suctioning, enhancing the intuitiveness of the procedure. This study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of subglottic suctioning guided by point-of-care ultrasound in mechanically ventilated patients, in order to help standardize clinical practice and improve medical quality.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
1. Patients admitted to the ICU with the patient or their legal representative having signed an informed consent form; 2. Patients expected to have an oral artificial airway in place for ≥72 hours; 3. Patients using tracheostomy tubes with subglottic suctioning
Disqualifiers
1) Severe cervical deformity, extensive subcutaneous emphysema, thick dressing coverage, or severe obesity that prevents clear visualization of the subglottic region by ultrasound.
