Nasotracheal suctioning requires a suction kit for the actual suctioning process, an oxygen delivery system to maintain or restore oxygenation, and sterile water or saline for lubrication or to help loosen secretions. A laryngoscope is not typically required for nasotracheal suctioning, as it is a non-visual procedure that does not involve direct visualization of the vocal cords or trachea.
