How To Use Portable Suction (Yankauer &. Whistle Tip)

This video demonstrates how to use portable suction to maintain a patent airway. The use of a yankauer rigid tip and flexible whistle tip is used for demonstration. A suction machine, also known as an aspirator, is a type of medical device that is primarily used for removing obstructions — like mucus, saliva, blood, or secretions — from a person's airway. The purpose of oral suctioning is to maintain a patent airway and improve oxygenation by removing mucous secretions and foreign material (vomit or gastric secretions) from the mouth and throat (oropharynx). Oral suction is the use of a rigid plastic suction catheter, known as a yankauer, to remove pharyngeal secretions through the mouth. The suction catheter has a large hole for the thumb to cover to initiate suction, along with smaller holes along the end, which mucous enters when suction is applied. The oral suctioning catheter is not used for tracheotomies due to its large size. Oral suctioning is useful to clear secretions from the mouth in the event a patient is unable to remove secretions or foreign matter by effective coughing. Patients who benefit the most include those with strokes, drooling, impaired cough reflex related to age or condition, or impaired swallowing.
