Abstract

An alternate tracheal aspiration procedure using a side-hole endotracheal adapter was used in conjunction with transcutaneous oxygen (T_cPO₂) monitoring in 13 mechanically ventilated newborn infants. Decline in T_cPO₂ during suctioning and drop in neonatal heart rate were both substantially reduced using a procedure designed to preserve mean airway pressure. When compared with the routine procedure of disconnecting the endotracheal tube from the ventilator and suctioning via an end-hold adapter, this approach prevented precipitous and dangerous hypoxemia.
