- The client should be suctioned as needed. Unnecessary suctioning needs to be avoided because it can increase secretions and cause mechanical trauma to the tissues.
The client should be hyperoxygenated with 100% oxygen before suctioning.
Suction is not applied during insertion of the catheter, and intermittent suction and a twirling motion of the catheter are used during withdrawal.
