Suction machine

We started using this suction machine with Steve’s noninvasive ventilator to help keep his mouth clear. After his tracheostomy, we use it for nose and lung suction as well.

Description

We got our suction machine around the same time we got our NIV. At the beginning, we used it sparingly. As Steve’s abilities to swallow and breathe continued to diminish, we used it more frequently. We now use it regularly. This machine works well with his tracheostomy.

The suction machine is very helpful when brushing his teeth. When he could not brush his own teeth anymore, he also couldn’t spit very well. The suction machine made it easier for him and his caregivers.
