ABSTRACT:
An infant meconium aspirating and ventilating apparatus comprising a flexible one-piece transparent aspirating device, a tube for connecting the aspirating device to a vacuum source, a ventilating device; and a clamp for shutting off and admitting vacuum into the suctioning device. The one-piece aspirating device, which is a primary feature of the present invention, is formed from the same piece of flexible, transparent, non-irritating plastic material, such as polyethylene. The aspirating device has an endotracheal tube end portion, an intermediate body portion, an outlet tube end portion and a port. The length of the endotracheal tube portion is preferably fixed at 13 cm. The length of the outlet tube is preferably about 35 to 50 cm. to prevent the weight and stiffness of the tube from the wall suction device from adversely affecting the maneuverability of the aspirating device. The port is used for regulating vacuum, administering medication and attaching the ventilating device.
