When selecting a suction catheter for endotracheal tube (ETT) suctioning, it's crucial to ensure the catheter is not more than half the internal diameter of the ETT.
The formula for Selecting the Appropriate Suction Catheter Size:
1. Determine the ETT size in millimeters (mm).
2. Apply the formula: Suction catheter size = (𝐄𝐓𝐓 𝐬𝐢𝐳𝐞 / 𝟐) × 𝟑
3. Adjust the outcome: Always select one size larger than the calculated value.
This method ensures effective suctioning while maintaining patient safety.
