Nasal Suctioning

Contraindications

• * Medications used to dry up secretions causing the Death Rattle do not always work… Some patients still require pharyngeal suctioning, for example: pneumonia patients.
• * The Death Rattle is common and can be a very unnerving experience for families as well as caregivers.
• * Nasal suctioning can cause Pain, Trauma & Bleeding in your fragile End-of-Life Patients.
• * Many patients in the active phase of dying are not aware of their surroundings and therefore bite down on or “tongue-out” suctioning equipment.
• * The No-Bite V™ provides a fast & easy suctioning alternative to introduce & guide a suction catheter orally instead of nasally. Fits any size suction catheter.
• * The No-Bite V™ can Improve Patient Comfort, Family Satisfaction & (HCAHPS) Scores.
• * Technique is Easy enough that trained family members can suction their own loved ones in the Home Hospice Setting.
• * Multiple uses on a single patient - rinse with water after use, dry & store in package.
• * LED light gives a Well-Lit Assessment. (batteries included)
