Hi there i have had my tube for 31 years. I have recently changed styles of tube. My mum did her first tube change of the new tube last week. We were up at the hospital just incase but now we are going back to how we use to do it which was at home.]
I have been suctioning myself since i was around 4 years old. I was always taught how far to push it in how long to hold it in there for. In the end you yourself know your own body and what feels right and what dosent..
Thank you so much for posting this video, i'm a healthcare support worker in England and i'm doing my first trach change for my patient tonight and this has been so helpful. You are awesome :)
hi bryant my name is ken and i have a tracheostomy too.. i had cardiac heart failure in 2005, i was in ICU for three months.. they had to give me the trach to save my life.. its hard for me to suction but i rather suction myself than somebody else.. my mom is willing to help but i know my limit.. i hope we can talk sometime do you have a facebook or something.. thanks from ken
Who is this person suctioning you!!!!I hope its not a respiratory therapist!!!I am a licensed respiratory care practitioner and am mortified at how long that suction was, it should not be more than 10 seconds because it will suck up all your oxygen and can cause heart arrythmias...Very bad...
@toby43078 hey its ok really its how im suctioned ive been doing it that way for 5 years its better for me in my care it helps me out alot im able to handle it :) so dont worry
@toby43078 Some people can breathe while being suctioned. Obviously, he's fine and has been fine with how he is suctioned. It doesn't cause heart arrhythmias.
my lil cripple bitch trooper, way ta go buddy, but i think you cut out some stuff we wanted to see. ill never stop doin the shit i do but man props on that cause it looks like it hurts alot. I love ya Gimpy and still Jizum and i are the only ONLY ones who can talk shit to you YOU GOT THAT!!! love ya man
good shit gimp. looks painful. changes the way i see you buddy. ur a fuckin trooper. and dude gotta start lettin me edit ur videos again. that long pause at the end is horrible. lol 5/5
@bryant19 Apparently I didn't know what I was talking about before. I apparently don't have a cuffed trach so thats why it doesnt hurt me much. I had surgery March 11 and they had to put in a cuffed trach before they put me to sleep. That did hurt ._.
bad bad bad suction technique...wrong.very wrong
