Abstract:

The group standard entitled Endotracheal Suctioning Technology for Adult Patients with Inhalation Injury after Tracheotomy was released by the China Medical Education Association in November 2023，which standardizes this specialized technique for patients with inhalation injury who have undergone tracheotomy. This paper interprets the key and difficult points of the standard，covering the basic requirements（appropriate ambient temperature and humidity，restricted visitor access，and a comfortable patient posture），pre-suction preparation，and standardized suction timing. Furthermore，it stipulates that location-specific suctioning should be performed in accordance with the top-down anatomical sequence，the suction catheter should be inserted under non-zero negative pressure，and effective prevention，observation，and emergency treatment of critical complications should be well conducted.

Key words: Burns, Inhalation, Tracheostomy, Suction, Airway Management, Critical Care Nursing
