What does Emerson suction do?

  1. Extracts blood from wounds

  2. Suction fluid from the lung

  3. Evacuates air from surgical cavities

  4. Cleans wounds during surgery

The correct answer is: Suction fluid from the lung

The Emerson suction is specifically designed for suctioning fluids, particularly in surgical settings. It is most commonly used to remove fluid from the lung, aiding in procedures where accumulated fluid can hinder visibility and breathing. This functionality is critical in managing pleural effusions or during thoracic surgeries. When fluids are extracted from the lung, it allows healthcare providers to maintain a clear surgical field and effectively manage respiratory function. While other options mention related tasks, such as extracting blood or cleaning wounds, they do not accurately reflect the primary function of the Emerson suction, which is targeted towards fluid control from the lungs rather than blood evacuation or wound cleaning.
