To maintain positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and high FIO₂ when suctioning a mechanically ventilated patient, what would you recommend?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using a closed-system multiuse suction catheter helps maintain positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and high FIO2 by preventing the loss of air from the patient's lungs during suctioning. This reduces the need for manual re-inflation of the patient’s lungs after suctioning thus keeping the PEEP level and FIO2 stable.
