Well done. During a simulation, I had a nursing student try to suction a tracheostomy patient with a Salem. The patient was in severe respiratory distress, and the students, who often only see in-line closed suction catheters, were thrown by the catheter's appearance. Being stressed in a simulated emergency added to the confusion. During the debrief, I pulled out a suction cath 'n' glove (as they used to be called) and compared it to a Salem sump. Then, the student who made the error (and their classmates who did not catch the mistake) practiced the open suctioning technique.

I understand videos like this are for education or continuing education but the lay person ( patient) can’t help but take notice of the almost cheery manner of delivery for this terrifying and almost barbaric procedure. This is 2024 not 1824 folks. We know it would make things take longer and involve more personnel and monitoring but someone has to be compassionate enough to bring pre medication into the forefront and incorporate it into everyday practice. Stay well all. Cheers

Great video. Thank you so much, keep up the good work.
Glad it was helpful!
A question, should the blue vent on the salem sump tube be open to air or should it be covered?
Same concern
