Brief Summary: In low and middle-income countries open endotracheal suction catheters are used multiple times to perform suctioning due to limited resources 12 Currently there is limited evidence for using a new suction catheter for each suction pass acknowledged in a review article of endotracheal suction procedures in paediatric populations 3 Additionally the latest artificial airway suctioning practice guidelines published by the American Association for Respiratory Care in 2022 did not mention any recommendations regarding suction catheter changing frequency 4 The guidelines adopted a study conducted in 2001 which showed that reusing an open tracheal suctioning catheter is safe and cost effective 5 Therefore the current evidence of reusing suctioning catheters remains unclear which rationalize the reason why some resource limited Intensive Care Units ICUs use the catheter multiple times during a 12-hour shift and possibly explain the high ventilator associated pneumonia VAP incidence in these ICUs 12

Therefore this feasibility study will propose to explore whether single-used suction catheters or multiple used open endotracheal tracheal suctioning catheters flushed with chlorhexidine are associated with reduced VAP incidence and its impact on mechanically ventilated patients
