Pengaruh Tindakan Penghisapan Lendir Endotrakeal Tube (Ett) Terhadap Kadar Saturasi Oksigen Pada Pasien Yang Dirawat Di Ruang Icu Rsup Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Manado

: Success of the treatment in patients with respiratory failure isn\u27t only depends of early detection, but also understanding the cause of the mechanism. One of the conditions that can lead to respiratory failure is obstruction of the airway, including obstruction of the endotracheal tube (ETT). An easy way to know of hypoxemia by monitoring of the oxygen saturation levels (SpO2). This study aims to determine the effect of Endotracheal Tube (ETT ) slime suction action against Oxygen Saturation Levels In Patients treated at ICU department of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado. This research uses a method of pre experiments using research design One - Group Pretest - Posttest Design. The samples done by purposive sampling, with a total sample of 16 people. Data analysis was performed using t - test with 95% confidence interval and the value of α = 0.05. The results obtained from this study showed a difference in oxygen saturation levels before and after the slime suction action where there is a difference in value of the oxygen saturation level of 5.174 % and p-value = 0.000 (α < 0.05). The conclusion, there is the influence of the ETT slime suction action of the oxygen saturation levels. Suggestions, for health personnel in order to ETT slime suction action done with the standard, For Health Institutions need for supervision of nursing personnel in doing the implementation with the standards and need an inhouse and exhouse training for the nurses to hone skills and update the new health sciences
