Wall Suction

Published

Does anyone have any videos that show how to set up wall suctions. The equipment we need & how to connect it & the name of the tubing. Also if we use a nasopharyngeal airway for a patient is it possible to ambu that patient. One more question, is an ambu bag connected to anything? I know these may be silly questions.

Thanks

Setting up suction is going to depend on the brand of suction but the basics are suction unit that connects to the connector on the wall, tube to connect to canister, suction canister, and tube to connect to patient.

NPA is an airway adjunct that is pretty much designed to be used with an ambu bag...

You can connect the ambu bag to o2.
