Emergency airway clearance suction system, pneumatic (A portable assembly of devices, which includes a non-surgical invasive component, intended to aspirate unwanted materials (e.g., fluids, secretions) from the airway typically during patient transport or an emergency situation (e.g., placed on a crash cart), by means of suction generated from a compressed gas supply (the Venturi principle). It includes a pneumatic suction regulator which controls the degree of negative pressure for aspiration, a portable supply of compressed gas (e.g., cylinder of air or oxygen), collection containers, tubing, microbial/hydrophobic filters, and patient contact devices (e.g., handpiece/tip, mask).)
