PVC Medical Grade Guedel Oropharyngeal Airway

PVC Medical Grade Guedel Oropharyngeal Airway

Description:

HENAN AILE INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD is a company for operating anesthesia medical disposables with more than 6 years.

The Guedel Oropharyngeal Airway is one of our products, which has smooth integrated design for optimum patient comfort
and safety.

Guedel Oropharyngeal Airways are rigid intraoral devices that conform to the tongue and displace it away from the posterior pharyngeal wall, thereby restoring pharyngeal airway patency.

Size of Guedel Oropharyngeal Airway:

Application Features:

• Smooth integrated design for optimum patient comfort and safety.
• Color-coded bite block is designed for easy identification and to
  prevent biting down so that can avoid blocking airway.

Step-by-Step Description of Procedure

• As necessary, clear the oropharynx of obstructing secretions, vomitus, or foreign material.
• Determine the appropriate size of the oropharyngeal airway. Hold the airway beside the patient’s cheek with the flange at the corner of the mouth. The tip of an appropriately sized airway should just reach the angle of the mandibular ramus.
• Next, begin inserting the airway into the mouth with the tip pointed to the roof of the mouth (ie, concave up).
• To avoid cutting the lips, be careful not to pinch the lips between the teeth and the airway as you insert the airway.
• Rotate the airway 180 degrees as you advance it into the posterior oropharynx. This technique prevents the airway from pushing the tongue backwards during insertion and further obstructing the airway.
• When fully inserted, the flange of the device should rest at the patient’s lips.
• Alternatively, use a tongue blade to depress the tongue as you insert the airway with the tip pointed to the floor of the mouth (ie, concave down). Use of the tongue blade prevents the airway from pushing the tongue backward during insertion.

Aftercare for Oropharyngeal Airway

• Ventilate the patient as appropriate.
• Monitor the patient and identify and remediate any impediments to proper ventilation and oxygenation.
• Secure the oropharyngeal airway if it should remain in place (eg, during mechanical ventilation after oral endotracheal intubation).

Additional Considerations for Oropharyngeal Airway

An oropharyngeal airway used concurrently with a nasopharyngeal airway may improve oxygenation and ventilation.
