• Recognize the importance of proper suction line use and maintenance.
• Examine the steps required to properly operate and maintain suction equipment.
• Identify common usage and maintenance errors and how to resolve them.
• Evaluate products on the market that are effective in maintaining a healthy suction line protocol.
