A suction machine is a medical device that helps to remove mucus and other fluids from the airway. It is typically used in patients who have difficulties clearing their airways on their own, such as those with COPD, bronchiectasis, or cystic fibrosis. The suction machine works by creating negative pressure within the airway, which helps to loosen and remove mucus and other secretions.
The suction machine can be used for both short-term and long-term treatment and is typically used in conjunction with other therapies, such as medications and breathing exercises.
