Hypoxemia (low blood oxygen level) is the most common complication of suctioning, as it can occur when the suction catheter stays in the airway for too long, causing a decrease in oxygenation levels. Other possible complications include trauma to the airway, infection, bleeding, and arrhythmias. However, hypoxemia is the most common and potentially dangerous complication.
