Methods: This semi experimental study was done on 40 patients admitted in the intensive care unit. Before and at various intervals after open and closed suctioning, heart rate and heart rhythm were recorded. Analyzed of data was done by SPSS 16, Fisher exact test & x2 score and P<0.05 was considered significant.
Results: There was a statistically significant different on heart rate and heart Rhythm in different times after closed and open suction system.
