Endotracheal Suctioning And Oral Care In COVID Patients
In nursing practice, the use of ventilation associated procedures such as endotracheal suctioning and frequent oral care is frequently provided for COVID-19. How do you know that the way you perform the skill is correct? How well does it work? Is there evidence to support it? Have you changed the way you do this skill over time? If so, why?
Write a 2 or 3 pages describing the practice/skill and what you know about it. Find evidence to support it or evidence that indicates a need for change. How have you/would you measure how well it works? (Consider all appropriate patient outcomes measures.)
