Before suctioning a patient, you should adjust the pressure to be between 80 to 120 mmHg for adults, and lower for pediatric patients, typically between 60 to 80 mmHg. This range helps to effectively clear secretions without causing trauma to the airway. Proper suction pressure is crucial to minimize discomfort and prevent potential complications, such as mucosal damage or hypoxia. Always assess the patient's condition and response during the procedure.
