Never put water in your O2/Air tubing.

I use Saline to clean out my sinuses. AlWAYS.
What do you think we use if we suction you? Whether on a Ventilator or a baby in ER? Saline. And yeah I've actually suctioned(machine) myself(a lot of trach patients suction themselves) by NT suctioning. I have a box of sterile saline bullets. Sterility is very important.

@ecmoandrrt
Do you use the saline bullets for cleaning out your sinuses? That would take a lot to make enough for a sinus rinse. Or do you have another source of sterile saline for that? I have not had any luck finding a large bottle of sterile saline in local stores or pharmacies.

@ecmoandrrt what are saline bullets?
