NCT06435572

Brief Summary

Endotracheal aspiration is a necessary procedure performed by nurses in neonatal intensive care units to increase oxygenation and remove secretions from the airways. It is one of the painful procedures that most frequently causes stress in intubated newborns.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Pain score

    differences in pain between open and closed suctioning systems

    Pain will be evaluated before, during and 30 minutes after each suction procedure.

  • Oxygen saturation

    differences in oxygen saturation between open and closed suctioning systems

    Oxygen saturation will be evaluated before, during and 30 minutes after each suction procedure

  • Heart rate

    differences in heart rate between open and closed suctioning systems

    Heart rate will be evaluated before, during and 30 minutes after each aspiration procedure

Study Arms (1)

Experimental and A control group

EXPERIMENTAL

Each patient will be evaluated as both the experimental and control group. In line with the patient's aspiration needs, two different suction methods will be applied and the effects of the methods will be evaluated on the same patient. In the study, open suction applied to the patient will be considered as the control group, and closed suction will be considered as the experimental group. The first suction of the same patient during the day will be performed as open suction, and the second suction will be performed as closed suction. Pain and physiological parameters will be evaluated before, during and 30 minutes after each sucking session.

Other: Suction

Interventions

SuctionOTHER

Each patient will be evaluated as both the experimental and control group. In the study, open suction applied to the patient will be evaluated as control, and closed suction will be considered as the experimental group. The first suction of the same patient during the day will be done as open suction, and the second suction will be done as closed suction.
