A good understanding of how to use a bulb syringe to suction excess mucous from the infant’s airway is: "I should suction my baby's mouth before the nose."

Suctioning can be defined as the mechanical aspiration of pulmonary secretions such as mucous from a patient’s airway.

This ultimately implies that, suctioning is typically used for clearing retained or excessive respiratory tract secretions in patients such as infants, who are unable to do so by themselves.

For an infant, a bulb syringe can be used to suction excess mucous from his or her airway.

As a general rule, the mouth of an infant should always be suctioned before his or her nose, so as to prevent aspiration that occurs as a gasp when the nose is suctioned.
