We are looking and new VAP bundles and reduction practices and I was wondering how often do you change out your suction cannisters and tubing? any information would be helpful
5 Comments - our VAP prevention Bundle starts with meticulous hand hygiene oral care-oral care kits or sterile water, we replace our neosuckers atleast q24hrs we have separate suction canisters for ETT and oral suctions and we replace all canisters and tubing every M,W,F and PRN Ambu bags are changed every Friday for ventilated infants
I was wondering what protocols other institutions have regarding the frequency of hands on assessments of our ELBW infants?...I was wondering if q 6 hour hands on assessments could be a standard for our ELBW infants?
