Abstract
For the period 2023–2024, a retrospective-prospective single-center study was conducted at the Federal State Budgetary Institution North-West District Scientific and Clinical Center named after L. G. Sokolov of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia. The study focused on the features and results of the tracheobronchial tree sanitation procedure, performed in an open and closed manner. The time of the procedure was assessed as an important indicator of convenience for nurses. The second aspect studied was the degree of trauma to the respiratory tract mucosa when performing aspiration using one of the stated methods. Target. To improve the treatment outcomes of patients on long-term mechanical ventilation using closed aspiration systems. Results. Measurements of the average time of the aspiration procedure showed that closed aspiration systems (CAS) provided a significant time gap compared to the open method with medians M=3 min 28 sec. and M=11 min 8 sec., respectively, p=0.035.; less trauma to the tracheal mucosa was noted when using CAS. Conclusion. The use of closed aspiration systems significantly facilitates and speeds up the work of nurses, and also reduces trauma to the tracheal mucosa.
