George Patel, age 64, was admitted to your floor 3 days ago following surgical insertion of a tracheostomy tube. His diagnosis prior to surgery was acute upper airway obstruction. He has a medication (saline) lock. Currently, he is receiving oxygen via his tracheostomy at 40%. His pulse oximetry readings have been consistently running in the low 90s. He quickly becomes short of breath when his oxygen is interrupted during suctioning. During your shift, you will have to suction Mr. Patel as needed and provide routine tracheostomy care. You will also need to transport him with portable oxygen to radiology for his chest x-ray (AP and lateral) Prescribed Interventions Morphine sulfate 1 to 4 mg IV q3h prn for pain AP and lateral chest x-ray Pulse oximetry every shift and prn Oxygen via trach Venturi mask at 40% Tracheostomy care every shift and prn Medication or saline lock, flush every shift Tracheal suctioning prn Developing Clinical Reasoning and Clinical Judgment How would you determine when Mr. Patel needs to be suctioned? Describe expected outcomes when suctioning and providing tracheostomy care. How would you determine when Mr. Patel needs to have tracheostomy care? When transporting Mr. Patel to the radiology department, what interventions should you implement to ensure his safety?
