WHAT IS NASAL SUCTION?

Nasal suctioning is performed to clear mucus from the nasal passages (in the nose).

WHY MIGHT YOU USE A NASAL SUCTION?

Nasal suctioning is helpful when secretions are visible in the nose or if you suspect that secretions are blocking the nasal passage. This is usually done by using a catheter or small tip catheter passed into the nostril.
