Been there,done that, ASN, RN 6,915 Posts Has 33 years experience. Dec 24, 2016 Sounds like it was an issue. Are you familiar with the bag and instill technique?
RNNPICU, BSN, RN 1,261 Posts Specializes in PICU. Has 17 years experience. Dec 24, 2016 Suction, bag, and/o change trach or if trach has inner cannula, i.e adult trach, change the inner cannula. If mucus plug suspected change that trach. Be sure to follow your agencies protocol and what they told you. Is anyone else there to help you change that trach?
