Suction Settings

Published

We are trying to standardized the suction settings for LIS I always set it between 40-60 but found that the other nurses all had different settings that they used. What are all of you using?

Our suction meters have sections for low, med, high. I tend to keep it midrange in the low section. Sorry, but I can't remember the numerical values for each setting.

Low Intermittant Suction

I do what IamRN does, but can't remember the numbers either.

Let us know what your research reveals and what you decide.
