delee suctioning

:uhoh3: Hello I was wondering if a doctor's order is needed to delee or if that is a nursing judgement?

nursing. i have used delee suctioning numerous times without orders. i would think it would be done anywhere without an order.

other opinions?

I've never had an order to do it.

nursing judgement

We only use a Delee for meconium at birth. Otherwise suctioning (deep or otherwise) is a nursing judgement.

If you think about this for a sec, would you WAIT to get a doc's order if a baby was choking? Of course you wouldn't.

Well I was suctioning a baby and later was told by my supervisor that i needed a dr. order. I looked in our p&p book and sure enough it wasn't there . So were can I find in text that it is okay to suction? I like evidence to support my arrgument.

NRP... Suctioning is part of the resuscitation process
