The normal term infant has little difficulty clearing the airway after birth. Most secretions are brought up to the oropharynx by the cough reflex.
 
  However, if the infant has excess secretions, the mouth and nasal passages can be cleared easily with a bulb syringe. When instructing parents on the correct use of this piece of equipment, it is important that the nurse teach them to:
  a. Avoid suctioning the nares.
  b. Insert the compressed bulb into the center of the mouth.
  c. Suction the mouth first.
  d. Remove the bulb syringe from the crib when finished.
