Summary
A short scenario-based procedural video showing use of a meconium aspirator to clear an airway obstructed by thick meconium, mucus or a plug when positive-pressure ventilation is failing. It emphasises that meconium-stained fluid alone is not an indication for routine endotracheal suctioning and frames the decision within MRSOPA ventilation corrective steps.
