1. Is it painful for children to suction phlegm?

1. Suctioning is a painful process where a plastic tube is inserted into the baby's mouth and nose to suck out phlegm. The purpose of suctioning is to use the principle of negative pressure to suck out secretions or aspirated substances in the child's respiratory tract, thereby clearing the respiratory tract and improving ventilation function.

2. Try suctioning first. If the nasal cavity, oral cavity, and endotracheal tube need to be suctioned at the same time, suction the endotracheal tube first and then the nasal cavity and oral cavity. Insert the suction tube into the external nostril, first push upward until the suction tube passes through the nasal septum, then push downward without negative pressure during insertion.

Considering that the baby's sputum is thick and difficult to expel, in this case, you must pay attention to letting the child drink more warm water. If the sputum continues to be difficult to expel, in order to avoid breathing difficulties, you can use a suction device to suction the sputum. There are two types of suction pumps: one for babies and the other for adults. The process will cause some pain to the baby and may cause some damage to the child's bronchial mucosa, which may lead to infection.

During the suction process, pay attention to the child's complexion, color around the mouth, breathing conditions, and the color of the suctioned sputum. If the sputum is thick, atomize it before suctioning.

2. When suctioning the trachea, it is best for two people to cooperate in the process. First, apply pressure to the air bag to give oxygen, maintain the blood oxygen saturation above 90, and then suction. One person suctions while the other observes the patient's condition. Each suction tube is used only once. Suitable for children's colds, tracheitis, bronchitis and pneumonia.
