Guedel Airways also referred to as oropharyngeal devices are used on unconscious patients to maintain an open airway, allow suction of fluids and depress the victims tongue to prevent airway blockage. These devices are generally made of hard plastic, and have a semicircular design that conforms to the curvature of the palate. When properly inserted, an oropharyngeal airway will hold the tongue away from the posterior pharynx so air can pass through and around the device during an emergency situation.

Specifications:

• Color coded for quick recognition of size
• Smooth bevelled tip for easy non-traumatic insertion
• Tough bite lock with soft tube
• Each oropharyngeal airway has three parts: the flange, the body, and the tip. When properly inserted, the flange is the piece that protrudes from the mouth and rests against the lips, preventing the device from sinking into the pharynx.

Handling instructions:

• Before inserting an oral airway, make sure to use the correct size.
• Place it on the patient’s cheek with the flange parallel to the front teeth, the tip of the Guedel airway should reach no further than the angle of the jaw.
• Use the device itself as a measure.
• If the airway is too long, it could obstruct breathing by displacing the tongue against the oropharynx. If it is too short, it will not be able to hold the tongue away from the pharynx.
• Before insertion, suction the patient’s mouth and pharynx to remove secretions.
• Place the patient in a supine position, and tilt the head back, unless this is contraindicated.
• With gloved hands, remove dentures (if they are present), and prepare to insert the device.

Precautions:

• All masks / tubing are disposable
• Oxygen tank is flammable and requires inspection after use / every 2 years
• Keep the oxygen at least 3 meters from any heat source
• Keep tank in upright position in a well-ventilated area
• Turn oxygen supply valve off when not in use
• Keep backup tanks on hand

Package contains:

• A set of 8 LIGHTHOUSE™ Coloured Guedel Airways in a case

These are narrow, flexible plastic tubing used to deliver oxygen through the nostrils of patients using nasal breathing. It connects to an oxygen tank on one end and has a loop at the other end with dual pronged extended openings at the top of the loop. The prongs are slightly curved to fit readily into the front portion of a patient’s nostrils. The tubing of the loop is fitted over the patient’s ears and is brought together under the chin by a sliding connector that holds the cannula in place.
