High capacity suction technique. A method of reducing the aspiration hazard during induction.
A suction booster is described which may be interposed between the endotracheal tube and the main suction system. This allows suction to be instantly ready throughout the intubation procedure, the rate of suction to be increased up to ten-fold, and all solid particles which can pass through the tracheal tube to be removed without the risk of blockage.
