Suction catheter TIK, essential consumable material for tracheobronchial suction. The suction catheter is inserted through the mouth, nose, or through a tube applied to the trachea. A necessary condition for performing suction is the patient's inability to expel secretions by coughing. The catheter is made of elastic, flexible material that usually does not cause injury to the patient. Its size varies from 8 to 18 Ch, with sizes 8 and 10 Ch being mainly used in children.

The importance of bronchial suction is crucial for adequate ventilation of patients and for the prevention of respiratory infections. Performing the procedure with strictly aseptic technique is of utmost importance.

• Airway cleansing
• Prevention of infections due to secretion stagnation
• Improvement of respiratory function
• Activation of the cough reflex through tracheal stimulation
• Secretion culture to detect microbes

• Bedridden with labored breathing
• Inability to expel secretions
• Auscultatory signs - indication of secretion buildup
• Sense of patient's distress
