Innovations in Mucus Extractor for Better Neonatal Resuscitation Outcomes

Background : Mucus Extractor is very important for Neonatal Resuscitation. There are many cost effective innovative changes that can make it more effective and useful for better Neonatal Resuscitation outcomes.

Objective : Make Mucus Extractor user friendly with some Cost Effective Innovations in renaming and designing it for improved Neonatal Resuscitation Outcomes.

Setting : Mucus Extractor in Neonatal Resuscitation .

Subjects and interventions:

Rename Mucus Extractor as Meconium Extractor.

Make the Mucus Extractor base more solid and heavy.

Make a limiting knob at 5cm and a mark at 5cm and 2cm with different bold color codes.

Make arrows for direction of suctioning.

Results: Renaming it as Meconium Extractor in place of Mucus Extractor will limit routine suctioning.

Sometimes during suction by a fresher, meconium is being aspirated in mouth due to horizontal position of Mucus Extractor. By giving a solid and heavy base to Mucus Extractor it will remain in vertical position at all times even if unsupported.

Making a limiting knob at 5cm and mark at 5cm and 2cm will restrict its depth of insertion. Mark at 5cm and 2cm with different bold color codes will make it more user friendly for the depth of insertion in mouth and nose.

Arrows regarding direction of suctioning will make it helpful for beginners using Mucus Extractor.

Conclusion: All these cost effective innovative measures will make Mucus Extractor more user friendly and will lead to improved Neonatal Resuscitation outcomes.
