Hydrogen Peroxide Trach Care
On the use of hydrogen peroxide for tracheostomy care
For tracheostomy, nursing is related to health and is of paramount importance. Among them, the use of hydrogen peroxide is quite exquisite.
Hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties and can remove filth and kill germs in tracheostomy care. At the tracheostomy, it is easy to accumulate secretions, breed all kinds of germs, and cause infections. Hydrogen peroxide can use its oxidizing power to decompose filth and clean the stoma.
When using hydrogen peroxide in tracheostomy care, it is also necessary to be careful. The choice of its concentration is crucial. If it is too thick, it will irritate the skin and mucous membranes around the stoma, causing redness, swelling, pain, or even damage to the tissue; if it is too thin, it will be insufficient in sterilization and defilement, making it difficult to achieve the purpose of care. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the appropriate concentration according to medical principles.
And when using, the technique should also be gentle. Dip a cotton ball or gauze in an appropriate amount of hydrogen peroxide and gently wipe the surrounding area of the stoma. The action should be slow and not rough, so as not to damage the stoma. At the same time, pay attention to observe the reaction at the stoma. If there is any discomfort, such as increased pain, bleeding, etc., it should be stopped immediately and seek medical treatment.
Furthermore, the frequency of care should not be arbitrary. It should be done according to the specific condition of the stoma, In this way, hydrogen peroxide can be used in tracheostomy care to ensure the well-being of patients by its ability to clean and sterilize.
