Medical Consumable All Size Medical PVC Nasopharyngeal Respiratory Products Airway

The Nasopharyngeal Airway is a medical device used to maintain a clear passage for air to flow through the nose and into the upper airway. It consists of a flexible tube made of soft material, typically latex-free, silicone, or rubber, with a flared end to prevent it from being inserted too far into the nasal passage.

Product Features:
Design: Made of soft material with a flared end to prevent over-insertion.
Material: Typically latex-free, silicone, or rubber.
Sizes: Available in various sizes to accommodate different age groups and anatomical variations.
Packaging: Individually packaged for easy use and storage.
 

Product Information:

• Purpose: Helps maintain a clear nasopharyngeal airway to ensure unobstructed airflow, suitable for airway management in emergency and critical care situations.
• Target Users: Patients unable to maintain their airway independently, such as those in a state of unconsciousness or respiratory distress.
• Storage: Store in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
• Instructions for Use:
• Preparation: Ensure the product packaging is intact and undamaged, and check the patient's nasal passages for obstruction.
• Insertion: Gently insert the nasopharyngeal airway into the patient's nostril with the flared end pointing towards the throat, until it reaches the appropriate position.
• Securing: Use tape or other securing methods as needed to keep the airway in place.

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.

Applications:

• Maintain airway patency in emergency settings.
• Ensure adequate oxygenation in unconscious or respiratory distress patients.
• Provide effective ventilatory support as part of airway management.

FAQs:
How to choose the correct size of the nasopharyngeal airway?
Select a size that fits the patient's nostril comfortably, slightly larger than the nostril but not too large to avoid discomfort.
 

What are the common complications associated with nasopharyngeal airways?
