The preferred technique for removing secretions from the mouth and nose of a newborn who requires resuscitation, is the suction of the mouth, before nose. This prevents the gasping of the fluid, while the nose is suctioned.
In case mec is present, the baby is suctioned before the delivery of shoulders.
