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
