Introduction

A suction machine is a medical device used to clear the airway of blood, saliva, vomit, or other secretions so that a patient may breathe. It is used while assisting a patient that is vomiting while seizing or unconscious, and can help in removing a foreign substance from a patient's windpipe and/or lungs (pulmonary aspiration).

To use the suction machine, first select 'Surgical Suction' on the start menu. The machine will begin channelling negative pressure. Test the vacuum level by pinching the suction tubing and watching the vacuum gauge. It should rise to the surgical vacuum level (± 2 mm Hg + 8%). If it is higher or lower, make sure you are fully obstructing the opening when you pinch the tubing.

The suction machine works by creating negative pressure to remove obstructions from the airway.
