NCT06143865

Brief Summary

The study was planned to determine the effects of closed aspiration on arterial blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation level and pain in intensive care patients connected to mechanical ventilators. IThe effects of the closed aspiration system on hemodynamic parameters and pain will be determined and the results will be important in terms of the usability of the closed system in the clinical environment and raising awareness in nursing practices in order to create minimum complications for the patient.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • Hemodynamic status form 1

    This form was used to record the arterial blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, heart rate of the patients.

    1 minute after aspiration.

  • Hemodynamic status form 2

    This form was used to record the arterial blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, heart rate of the patients

    5 minute after aspiration.

  • Hemodynamic status form 3

    This form was used to record the hemodynamic parameters arterial blood pressure, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, heart rate of the patients.

    30 minutes after aspiration.

  • Behavioral pain scale 1

    It consists of three items: facial expression, upper extremities, and compliance with the ventilator. For each item, there are four variables that include behavioral responses to pain. Each section is given a score between 1-4. The score obtained from the scale is between 3-12. Higher scores indicate increased pain intensity.

    1st after aspiration.

  • Behavioral pain scale 2

    It consists of three items: facial expression, upper extremities, and compliance with the ventilator. For each item, there are four variables that include behavioral responses to pain. Each section is given a score between 1-4. The score obtained from the scale is between 3-12. Higher scores indicate increased pain intensity.

    5th minutes after aspiration.

  • Behavioral pain scale 3

Each section is given a score between 1-4. The score obtained from the scale is between 3-12. Higher scores indicate increased pain intensity.

    30th minutes after aspiration.

Study Arms (1)

Closed aspiration group

EXPERIMENTAL

Closed system aspiration is performed according to standard guidelines for patients.

Procedure: Closed system aspiration

Interventions

Aspiration catheter; it is part of the ventilator and the ventilator circuit. The catheter is stored in a protective sheath. Therefore, the catheter can be used repeatedly during the day.

Closed aspiration group
