Airway resuscitation equipment
There are many different causes of poor airway clearance. Often, it is often associated with tongue retention, water, vomit or foreign bodies in the larynx.
To ensure patency of the respiratory tract, special manipulations with the use of special devices are carried out.
Types of aids to restore airway patency
In cases where airway patency is compromised, immediate restoration of respiratory function is required. In medicine, there are several means that allow the free flow of air into the lungs. The most commonly used are endotracheal tubes, laryngeal masks and airways. Let's consider in what cases they are used:
- Endotracheal tubes are the most common means of restoring airway patency when a patient requires mechanical ventilation. These flexible tubes are inserted into the trachea through the mouth or nose, allowing air to pass directly into the lungs. Endotracheal tubes provide reliable and safe breathing and are widely used in operating rooms, intensive care units and intensive care units.
- Laryngeal masks are an alternative to endotracheal tubes. They are a soft mask that is placed in the pharynx over the vocal cords, allowing air to flow freely into the lungs. Laryngeal masks are usually used in situations where it is necessary to prevent food or fluid from entering the lungs and to provide temporary airway clearance.
- Airways are another means of providing a clear airway. They are flexible tubes inserted into the airway through the nose or mouth to allow air to flow freely into the lungs. Airways are commonly used in emergency medical care, including resuscitation and first aid for respiratory arrest.
Intubation kits, which you can buy in our store, will help to immediately restore the respiratory functions of a person.
When respiratory monitoring medical equipment is used
There are situations where medical equipment is used to monitor breathing. In such circumstances, the casualty's condition is distinguished as urgent and emergency.
The urgent condition is defined by situations:
- cardiac arrest;
- acute laryngeal edema;
- laryngospasm;
- upper respiratory trauma;
- high spinal cord injuries;
- deep coma with tongue retraction;
- respiratory arrest or apnea.
Emergency is defined when a casualty has:
- respiratory failure;
- need for respiratory support;
- need to facilitate respiratory function in patients in shock or with low cardiac output, or in the presence of myocardial infarction.
