Abstract:
An intubation suction device having first and second elongated tubular sections and a centrally located, uniquely configured handle is disclosed. The first section has an in-line port which has two functions. First, it acts as a suction valve to control suction. Second, its permits the easy introduction of a stylet through the device to an associated endotracheal tube. This latter feature enables the endotracheal tube to be easily inserted into the trachea region of a new born baby. By use of such device, expedited suction of material, such as meconium, from the oral, nasal, gastric and trachea regions of a newborn baby can be achieved.
