Airway management is crucial to ensure adequate ventilation of the lungs in emergency situations and to minimise the risk of hypoxia. It is used when patients are unable to breathe on their own or are unconscious to keep the airway clear of obstructions and prevent aspiration. The timely and correct application of airway management measures can be crucial for survival and the prevention of long-term damage to health.
Airway management includes various methods and tools that are selected depending on the situation and the patient's condition:
Endotracheal intubation: This involves inserting a tube through the mouth or nose into the windpipe to keep the airway open.
Laryngeal masks: An alternative to endotracheal intubation that is placed over the larynx and is less invasive.
Supraglottic airway devices: These include laryngeal tubes and i-gel® airway devices that allow ventilation without intubation.
Non-invasive ventilation: Use of masks and ventilators that provide respiratory support without direct airway protection.
Coniotomy: If the upper airway is completely blocked and there is a risk of suffocation, a surgical procedure is performed using a coniotomy set. An incision is made between the thyroid cartilage and the cricoid cartilage to quickly clear the airway.
Each of these methods has specific indications and requires appropriate expertise and training for safe application.
Airway management products are used in a variety of medical fields:
In each of these areas, specific knowledge and the right equipment are crucial to ensure effective care.
