| Background: The physiological indicators of critically sick ventilated patients are significantly impacted by the endotracheal suctioning procedure. Mental tension, pain, and terror brought on by tracheal suctioning activate the sympathetic nervous system, which raises heart rate, peripheral vascular resistance, and possibly blood pressure. Additionally, hypoxemia is the most frequent side effect of endotracheal suctioning. Aim: The present study aimed to examine the Effects of Endotracheal Suctioning and Invasive Interventions on the Pain Behaviors and Hemodynamic Measures of Adult Intensive Care Patients Methods: Descriptive observational design was used. Results: 44 open suctioning operations and 28 closed suctioning procedures (first/suctioning observation) were observed by the researchers. The researchers observed 35 nasogastric tube insertion procedures and 10 catheter insertion procedures during the second observation. In the third observation, the most observations were made during the insertion of a peripheral catheter (10.6%) and subcutaneous injection (80.3%). In all, 144 invasive procedures and 72 endotracheal suctioning procedures were observed by researchers. Prior to, during, and following the suctioning, hemodynamic measures (such as values of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respiration rate, pulse rate, saturation, and mean blood pressure) showed statistically significant differences (p <.05). Conclusion: Hemodynamic and mechanical breathing parameters are altered, and pain is experienced during suctioning and invasive operations.
