If one is on a ventilator, is it possible to do thing like swallow, blow your nose and cough? it feels like u need to cough because of the endotracheal tube but u cant talk, cough or blow your nose. as for the comment about the vent breathing for you, if can but there are also modes (psv) where the patient is doing all the breathing, the vent is just supporting the breath not actually giving it. we do suction the patients, using a catheter down the tube into the lungs to suck out the mucus. Only if there is a tracheostomy, not endotracheal intubation. The functions you mention are taken care of by the nurse or respiratory therapist using a suction catheter. You feel like you need to cough because of what is in your throat but you can not do anything but the ventilator is doing all the breathing for you. I have been told by people who were on the vent that they feel like they need to cough or get something out of their throat. I don't remember what it was like when I was on the vent. They had me pretty sedated to keep me from fighting it. YES!! of course my father's on ventilator he coughs he blows blows his nose and swallows. |
