    Medical equipment commonly used includes oropharyngeal airway, nasopharyngeal airway, bag valve mask, and pocket mask. [ 2 ] Airway management is a primary consideration in cardiopulmonary resuscitation , anaesthesia , emergency medicine , intensive care medicine and first aid .

  3. Airway management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airway_management

    In advanced airway management, the inhaled foreign objects, however, are either removed by using a simple plastic suction device (such as a Yankauer suction tip) or under direct inspection of the airway with a laryngoscope or bronchoscope. If removal is not possible, other surgical methods should be considered. [22]

  4. Nasopharyngeal airway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasopharyngeal_airway

    A nasopharyngeal airway inserted in the right nostril of a patient. The correct size airway is chosen by measuring the device on the patient: the device should reach from the patient's nostril to the earlobe or the angle of the jaw. [10] The outside of the tube is lubricated with a water-based lubricant so that it enters the nose more easily. [5]

  5. Suction Assisted Laryngoscopy Airway Decontamination

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suction_Assisted...

    Hold the suction catheter (wide-bore, rigid) in a clenched-fisted right hand, with the distal end of the catheter pointing caudad and posterior, to enable manipulation of the tongue and mandible as required. The curve of the rigid suction catheter should mirror the curve of the structures of the upper airway: 3.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_airway_management

    Children have numerous anatomic differences from adults which present unique challenges when implementing advanced airway techniques. Neonates and infants have overall smaller airway anatomy including a shorter trachea and smaller nasal openings. Additionally, they have proportionally larger tongues and heads.

  7. Bronchiolitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchiolitis

    A nasal suction bulb can be purchased over the counter and directions for its use can be explained by a provider or on the back of the box. Clinical guidelines state that routine suctioning is safe and can provide relief for infants which allows them to eat and sleep more comfortably.

  8. Yankauer suction tip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yankauer_suction_tip

    Yankauer suction tip. The Yankauer suction tip (/ j eɪ ŋ ˈ k aʊ r /) [1] is an oral suctioning tool used in medical procedures. It is typically a firm plastic suction tip with a large opening surrounded by a bulbous head and is designed to allow effective suction without damaging surrounding tissue.

  9. Bag valve mask - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bag_valve_mask

    Bag valve mask. Part 1 is the flexible mask to seal over the patients face, part 2 has a filter and valve to prevent backflow into the bag (prevents patient deprivation and bag contamination) and part 3 is the soft bag element which is squeezed to expel air to the patient
