Answer :
If the inline suction device is locked, suction will occur continuously until you turn it off.
This can cause trauma to the patient's airway and damage to the tissue. It is important to make sure that the suction device is not locked, and that suction is applied only as needed and for a short duration to minimize the risk of complications.
The purpose of the inline suction device is to clear secretions from the catheter and the airway, but it should be used with caution and following proper protocols.

Locking an inline suction device results in b) Suction will occur continuously until you turn it off.
This is because the lock position maintains the valve in an open state, allowing continuous suction to occur. This constant suction can potentially result in harm, such as mucosal trauma, hence it must be monitored carefully and turned off promptly after use.
The device functions similarly to when one uses a straw to draw liquid; if the suction source is continuously active, liquid or air will be drawn continuously.
Another example can be seen with an aspirator’s suction system; when the stopcock is closed (locked), the vacuum pressure is maintained, just as the suction in the inline device would be.
In conclusion, locking the inline suction device results in uninterrupted suction, posing potential risks if not carefully managed.
