ABSTRACT:
A suction apparatus for aspirating mucous from the nose, mouth and throat of the newborn to clear the respiratory passages after birth. Includes a catheter with a tip sized and shaped for the newborn, a mucous trap to collect the aspirated mucous, and a suction tube and mouthpiece to permit the application of controlled suction by the attending physician. The device incorporates safety features to prevent the accidental ingestion of dangerous microorganisms along with the aspirated air. These safety features include devices to close off the suction tube when mucous is about to enter it and filters to strain out any potential aerosols of mucous from the air entering the mouthpiece.
