Comparison of Open and Closed Aspiration in Newborns

Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Newborn
Interventions
Other: Suction
Registration Number
NCT06435572
Lead Sponsor
Izmir Katip Celebi University
Brief Summary

Endotracheal aspiration is a necessary procedure performed by nurses in neonatal intensive care units to increase oxygenation and remove secretions from the airways. It is one of the painful procedures that most frequently causes stress in intubated newborns.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of open and closed system suction, which is one of the invasive procedures frequently applied in neonatal intensive care, on the baby's pain and vital signs. There is a need for innovative, evidence-based practices to be implemented by nurses in clinics to minimize complications related to endotracheal suction.

GroupInterventionDescription
Experimental and A control groupSuctionEach patient will be evaluated as both the experimental and control group. In line with the patient's aspiration needs, two different suction methods will be applied and the effects of the methods will be evaluated on the same patient. In the study, open suction applied to the patient will be considered as the control group, and closed suction will be considered as the experimental group. The first suction of the same patient during the day will be performed as open suction, and the second suction will be performed as closed suction. Pain and physiological parameters will be evaluated before, during and 30 minutes after each sucking session.
