ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Tracheal aspiration is a frequent procedure in Intensive Care Units (ICUs), essential for removing secretions in intubated or tracheostomized patients. Although simple, it can generate serious complications when poorly performed—studies indicate that up to 40% of adverse respiratory events in the ICU are associated with failures in this procedure. This reinforces the importance of understanding its indications, performing the technique correctly, and adopting preventive measures. Objective: To review aspects of tracheal aspiration in adult patients in the ICU, addressing indications, technique, professionals involved, and measures to reduce risks.
