    Study Notes

    Artificial Airways

    • Artificial airways do not protect against aspiration
    • Small airways can cause kinking of the tongue and obstruct gas movement
    • Guedel airway is the most common type
    • Used to prevent obstruction of upper airway by lifting the tongue and epiglottis
    • Lubricant should be used to assist insertion
    • Can be inserted through either nostril, although left-facing bevel is designed for right nostril
    • Pharyngeal and laryngeal reflexes must be depressed to prevent coughing and laryngospasm
    • Must use appropriate size
    • Airways must be inserted after lubrication
