Initials Corresponding Signature of Instructor Title Supplies needed: Disposable exam gloves Mask, face shield, or other personal protective equipment depending on the patient situation and facility policy Sterile towel or drape Laryngoscope handle and blades Endotracheal tubes, assorted sizes; ask the licensed professional to select the proper size tube Stylette, a wire inserted through the tube to reduce flexibility Magill forceps (these will be used if a foreign body is present, or if nasotracheal intubation is necessary) 10-mL syringe Kelly clamp or other hemostat Water-soluble lubricant Suction, set up with flexible catheter Tape, 1- and 2-inch sizes, or endotracheal tube holder Tincture of benzoin solution Cotton applicators Oral airway Stethoscope Bag-valve-mask apparatus Humidified oxygen source Sterile gauze pads Sterile water Sterile basin
3 Procedure Guidelines S/U Initials S/U Initials 1. Perform your beginning procedure 2. Set up the equipment for intubation. Place it in a convenient location on a sterile towel or other drape, close to the patient s head. 3. Check the light on the laryngoscope blade(s) to ensure that they are bright, white, and steady. Snap the blade onto the handle, then fold it up and down. When pulled up, the light should go on. Folding it down turns the light off. 4. Open the sterile package containing the endotracheal tube. Leave the tube within the package, removing only the inflation port for the cuff. The tube must remain sterile. 5. Pull the plunger back on the syringe. Attach it to the inflation port on the endotracheal tube. Slowly inject air into the inflation port to check the cuff for leaks. Pull back on the plunger to deflate the cuff. 6. Lubricate the entire stylet, and place it on the table next to the endotracheal tube. 7. Tear the tape and place it over the edge of the table, or other convenient location. 8. Squeeze water-soluble lubricant onto a sterile gauze pad. 9. Prepare the humidified oxygen. 10. Set up the suction. 11. Apply gloves and other personal protective equipment. 12. Remove the patient s dentures or partial plate. Store dentures in a labeled container of water in a safe location. 13. Assist the licensed health care professional as directed while he or she performs the intubation procedure. You may be asked to ventilate the patient before the procedure.
4 Procedure Guidelines S/U Initials S/U Initials 14. After the tube has been inserted, note and record the centimeter mark on the tube where it exits the mouth. Record the volume of air used to inflate the cuff. 15. After insertion, call x-ray for a portable x-ray for tube placement. 16.

Initials Corresponding Signature of Instructor Title Supplies needed: Sterile gloves Eye protection Surgical mask Gown Sterile towel, according to facility policy Sterile drape to set up sterile field Sterile suction catheter Sterile normal saline Sterile basin Sterile, lint-free sponges Alcohol sponge Bag-valve-mask device Plastic bag for used supplies Procedure Guidelines S/U Initials S/U Initials 1. Perform your beginning procedure 2. Prepare the sterile field, if you have not done so previously. Pour sterile normal saline into the sterile basin. 3. If the bag-valve-mask device is assembled, remove the mask by twisting and pulling slightly.
10 Procedure Guidelines S/U Initials S/U Initials 4. Connect the bag-valve to the tracheostomy and firmly ventilate the patient 4 or 5 times. Synchronize your ventilations with the patient s respirations. Avoid squeezing the bag while the patient is exhaling. 5. Apply sterile gloves. 6. Drape the sterile towel across the patient s upper chest. 7. Attach the suction catheter to the connecting tubing. The hand that touches the connecting tubing is no longer sterile. 8. Turn the suction on with the nonsterile hand. 9. Holding the catheter with your sterile hand, insert the tip into the saline. Suction a small amount of saline through the catheter to lubricate the inside. Secretions will flow through the catheter more readily if the inside is lubricated first. 10. Gently insert the suction catheter into the inner cannula until you meet resistance (approximately 6 inches), then withdraw 2 to 3 cm. If the patient begins to cough, do not insert the catheter further. Withdraw the catheter 2 to 3 cm. If the patient coughs violently, wait a few seconds before proceeding. 11. Cover the thumb port and apply suction for no more than 10 seconds. While suctioning, rotate the catheter gently. Rotation is important to prevent the suction from removing tissue. Continue suctioning as you pull the catheter out. Remember, the entire procedure should take no more than 10 seconds. 12. Insert the suction catheter into the sterile saline and flush the tubing. 13. Connect the bag-valve device and give the patient 4 or 5 breaths. Ask another PCT to do this, if possible, to avoid contaminating your gloves.
11 Procedure Guidelines S/U Initials S/U Initials 14. Allow the patient to rest a few minutes before repeating the suctioning. During this time, observe the patient s response and skin color, and color and character of the secretions, to report to the RN upon procedure completion. 15. Repeat steps 7 through 11 until the airway is clear of secretions. Do not suction more than 2 to 4 times, or according to facility policy. 16. Upon conclusion, connect the bag-valve device and give the patient 4 or 5 additional breaths. 17. Wipe the connection of the bag-valve device well with alcohol. Cover the connection with a sterile gauze sponge or sterile glove. 18. Discard used supplies in plastic bag. 19. Perform your procedure completion Instructor Signature Student Signature
