Didn't Andy Thurg try some sort of expirment with suction units sometime a go? I have vague recollection of him mentioning something to do with tins of soup..... Strange I know but true:-)

i have benn ufortunate enough to be involved in a couple of nasty motorcycle
vs pedestrian RTC's...
any suction is better than sticking your fingers into the patients mouth to
remove blood clots... personally, i now carry a Vitalograph hand sucker...
worth the £135 so that if i ever come across / end up involved in a nasty
RTC again, i can hopefully clear their airway until some more help
arrives...
