Introduction
The procedure for suctioning sputum under negative pressure involves turning on the suction device, connecting the suction catheter, and performing suctioning for the patient. This procedure requires professional skills. If suctioning is needed, it is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and perform the procedure under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider to minimize risks. In daily life, ensure adequate rest and avoid spicy or irritating foods to prevent unnecessary irritation.

Under normal circumstances, the procedure for negative pressure suctioning involves turning on the suction device, connecting the suction catheter, and performing suctioning on the patient. The specific steps are as follows:

1. The operator washes hands thoroughly and ensures that the ventilator or negative pressure device is in proper working condition.

2. Position the patient in a supine position with the head slightly lowered, ensuring full body relaxation.

3. The operator takes a sterile suction catheter and moistens it with sterile solution to ensure the tube remains unobstructed.

4. Slowly insert the suction catheter into the patient's mouth, taking care not to irritate the respiratory mucosa.

5. Apply negative pressure using either hand control or a mechanical suction device to remove respiratory secretions. During suctioning, gently rotate the catheter to help remove more secretions.

6. After suctioning, flush the used suction catheter with normal saline to prevent blockage by secretions.

This procedure requires professional skill. If suctioning is needed, it is recommended to visit a正规 medical facility and perform the procedure under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider to minimize risks. In daily life, ensure adequate rest and avoid spicy or irritating foods to prevent unnecessary irritation.
