                               Stop advancing catheter if resistance is met and withdraw
                                 catheter about ½ inch



                              To avoid damage to the airways and hypoxia:


                               Suction should be set at <120 mmHg
                               Suction should be applied intermittently for periods no
                                 greater than 10 – 15 seconds
                               Only pass catheter 2 to 3 times
                               Allow patient to re-oxygenate between passes
