Closed Suction Catheters (CSC) offer several significant advantages over Open Suction Catheters (OSC), particularly in infection control, patient comfort, and operational efficiency.
The closed suction catheter provides superior infection control, oxygenation stability, patient comfort, and operational efficiency compared to the open suction catheter. These advantages make it the preferred choice in critical care and mechanical ventilation settings, despite its higher initial cost. In the long term, its ability to reduce complications and hospital-associated infections ensures better patient outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
