Neonatology and Perinatology — MCQs

Q: Identify the instrument:

Mucus sucker. ***Mucus sucker*** - The image displays a device with a **curved tip** and a connecting piece, characteristic of a mucus sucker used for aspirating secretions. - This instrument is commonly used in **neonates** and **infants** to clear the airway from mucus or amniotic fluid. *Rubin insufflation cannula* - A Rubin insufflation cannula is typically used for **uterotubal insufflation**, a procedure to test the patency of fallopian tubes. - It has a more rigid, straight design with a cone-shaped tip to seal the cervix, which is different from the curved tip shown. *Uterine sound* - A uterine sound is a malleable, slender instrument used to **measure the depth and direction** of the uterine cavity. - Its design is typically straight or slightly curved, but lacks the suction port and associated components seen in the image. *Suction cannula* - While a mucus sucker is a type of suction cannula, a general suction cannula often refers to instruments like a **Yankauer suction tip** or **Frazier suction tip**. - These are typically used in different surgical fields with varied tip designs and sizes, and the specific instrument shown is clearly identifiable as a mucus sucker due to its characteristic shape for neonatal use.
