Nasopharyngeal Airway Usage Instructions
Step-by-Step Guide:
Preparation:
Ensure the nasopharyngeal airway is intact and clean.
Verify that the patient's nostrils are clear of obstruction.
Selection of Size:
Choose the appropriate size by comparing the airway to the patient's nostril. It should be slightly larger but not uncomfortable.
Insertion:
Lubricate the airway with a water-soluble lubricant to aid insertion.
Orient the airway with the bevel towards the septum.
Gently insert the airway into the nostril with a slight rotating motion.
Placement:
Advance the airway along the floor of the nasal passage until the flange rests against the nostril.
Ensure the tip lies in the nasopharynx behind the base of the tongue.
Securing:
Secure the airway in place using adhesive tape or other suitable methods.
Check for proper positioning and patency by observing chest rise and fall.
Monitoring:
Regularly monitor the airway for displacement or obstruction.
Assess the patient for any signs of discomfort or inadequate ventilation.
Removal:
To remove, gently twist the airway while pulling it out.
Important Notes:
Caution: Avoid excessive force during insertion to prevent injury.
Monitoring: Continuously monitor the patient's respiratory status after airway insertion.
Expertise: Proper training and familiarity with the procedure are crucial for safe and effective airway management.
