Yankauer tube introduction

      A Yankauer tube is a medical device used for suctioning secretions from the mouth and throat during surgery or other medical procedures. It is typically made of rigid plastic and has a curved tip with multiple holes for suctioning fluids. The tube is attached to a suction device and is used to remove blood, mucus, saliva, and other fluids from the patient's airway to prevent aspiration and promote clear breathing. The Yankauer tube is named after its inventor, Dr. Sidney Yankauer.
