How Should The VacMaxi Phlegm Suction Pump Be Used?
My mom is a stroke patient and has been bedridden for 4 years. She is given feeding thru tube. Her health care taker used to clear the mucus by using suction machine. Recently, we have been in the transition of waiting for a new health care taker. At the mean time, could you please tell me how I can clean my mom s mucus by using a suction machine called Vacmaxi? Thanks a lot in advance.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it is the practical thing or lesion and it can not be teach through this forum, but I could tell that it is the electrical device called the suction machine attached with plastic tube or canula with different number and it has to be inserted in trachea with the machine on as soon as you go just little deeper mucus sucks out though pipe if nothing comes then no need to go deeper hope this information helps.
