Closed suctioning does not require disconnecting the patient from the ventilator or oxygen source, reducing the risk of infection for caregivers. It also allows for the maintenance of PEEP during the procedure. However, pre-oxygenation and post-oxygenation as well as pre-hyperventilation and post-hyperventilation may still be necessary in some cases, so options 1 and 2 are not always true.
