icebox,
Performing trach care by the RTs is not new, however wrapping the pilot balloon tube around anything is not safe practice. It needs to be accessible at all times for patient safety.

Have never seen this practice before. I think I would've discouraged it had I.

I don't get why she does that. I don't like that RTs don't do trach care period. I am nervous that nurses do it. Especially when most of the ones I run to act like they are going to gag at the sight of one.


Breathe easy baby!
