Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Endotracheal suctioning is a procedure done to clear the airway of mucus and secretions, but it can also stimulate the vagus nerve which can result in a decrease in heart rate and even apnea. In a newborn of 28 weeks gestational age who is already at high risk for respiratory distress syndrome and apnea, endotracheal suctioning can exacerbate these issues and result in bradypnea or apnea.
