Conditions

Respiratory conditions due to other specified external agents. Respiratory conditions due to other specified external agents

Interventions

Intervention 1: In shallow suction group the suction catheter insert to the end of the endotracheal tube. Then negative pressure performs while pulling out the catheter. Intervention 2: In deep sucti

Prevention

In shallow suction group the suction catheter insert to the end of the endotracheal tube. Then negative pressure performs while pulling out the catheter.

In deep suction group the suction catheter insert until resistance is met, then it withdraw by 1 cm before application of negative pressure.
