Disposable Oropharyngeal Airway

Introduction

A disposable oropharyngeal airway is a medical device commonly used in respiratory, anesthesia and emergency treatment.  Its main function is to ensure that the patient's airway is unobstructed and maintain the stability of the airway for effective ventilation and oxygenation.

The characteristics of the disposable oropharyngeal airway are convenience, hygiene and safety.  Due to its disposable nature, it can avoid the risk of cross infection, reduce the workload of cleaning and disinfection, and improve work efficiency.  In addition, its material is usually medical-grade plastic, has good biocompatibility, and will not cause irritation or allergic reactions to patients.

A disposable oropharyngeal airway usually consists of two parts: a tubular part and a grip part.  The tubular part is the part used to insert into the patient's mouth, usually in a curved shape to adapt to the anatomical structure of the mouth.  The grip part is the part used to hold and control the airway, usually with a non-slip design to ensure the safety of medical staff during use.

According to different needs, disposable oropharyngeal airways can be divided into different types.  Common types are adult and pediatric, and their size and shape are adjusted according to the age and body shape of the patient.  In addition, there are some specially designed oropharyngeal airways, such as oropharyngeal airways with suction tubes, which can easily suction sputum.

Main functions

1.  Keep the airway open: The main function of the oropharyngeal airway is to keep the patient's tongue root displaced forward to prevent the tongue root from blocking the airway.  Its design keeps the airway open to ensure that the gas can enter the lungs smoothly.

2.  Convenient airway management: The disposable oropharyngeal airway can be used for airway management before endotracheal intubation.  It can help doctors insert endotracheal tubes or other airway devices more easily by providing a stable channel.

3.  Reduce the risk of respiratory tract infection: The design of the disposable oropharyngeal airway allows it to be discarded immediately after use, avoiding the risk of cross infection.  This is especially important for patients who need to use a ventilator for a long time.

4.  Suitable for first aid and resuscitation: The disposable oropharyngeal airway is an important tool in the process of first aid and resuscitation.  It can quickly restore the patient's airway patency, provide oxygen supply, and help doctors perform effective artificial ventilation.

It should be noted that disposable oropharyngeal airways need to be properly disinfected and sterilized before use to ensure safety and hygiene.  In addition, when using oropharyngeal airways, it is necessary to pay attention to the patient's tongue root position and the patency of the airway to avoid unnecessary stimulation and damage.

Purchasing Guide

1. Hospital level and department needs: Different levels of hospitals and different departments have different needs for oropharyngeal airways. For example, intensive care units and emergency departments may require higher-level oropharyngeal airways, while general wards can choose more basic models.

2. Parameter requirements: The parameter requirements of oropharyngeal airways include size, material and shape. The size should be selected according to the patient's age and body shape to ensure the fit and comfort of the airway. The material should be non-toxic, non-irritating and high-temperature resistant to ensure the safety and reliability of the oropharyngeal airway. The shape should be ergonomic, easy to insert and remove, and reduce discomfort to the patient.

3. Quality certification: When purchasing oropharyngeal airways, products with relevant quality certifications should be given priority. For example, ISO9001 quality management system certification, CE certification, etc. These certifications can ensure that the oropharyngeal airway meets relevant quality standards and safety requirements.

4. Price and budget: The price of the oropharyngeal airway varies by brand, model and quality. When formulating procurement requirements, hospitals should formulate a reasonable price range based on the budget and select products with high cost performance within this range. At the same time, the subsequent maintenance and replacement costs should also be taken into account.

5. Supplier reputation and after-sales service: Choosing a supplier with good reputation and reliable after-sales service is also an important factor in the purchase of oropharyngeal airways. Suppliers should have a good after-sales service system that can promptly solve product quality problems and provide technical support.

Clinical application

Disposable oropharyngeal airways in respiratory, anesthesia and emergency equipment play an important role in clinical applications. Oropharyngeal airways are devices used to maintain the patient's airway patency and are often used in emergency, anesthesia and resuscitation situations.

Disposable oropharyngeal airways have the following advantages. First, they are disposable, avoiding the risk of cross-infection. Since the oropharyngeal airway is in contact with the patient's mouth and throat, pathogens may be transmitted if they are not cleaned and disinfected in time. The disposable oropharyngeal airway can avoid this problem and ensure the safety of the patient.

Secondly, the disposable oropharyngeal airway has good adaptability and plasticity. They are usually made of soft materials and can be adjusted according to the shape of the patient's mouth and throat to provide better sealing and ventilation effects. This personalized design can reduce airway resistance, improve ventilation efficiency, and ensure smooth breathing for patients.

In addition, the disposable oropharyngeal airway is also convenient and fast. Due to its disposable nature, medical staff do not need to spend too much time and energy on cleaning and disinfection, reducing the workload. At the same time, the disposable oropharyngeal airway is simple to use and does not require complex operating skills, which improves the efficiency of first aid and anesthesia.

Precautions

1. Choose the right size: The oropharyngeal airway has different sizes, and the appropriate size should be selected according to the patient's age and body shape to ensure the fit and patency of the airway.

2. Disinfection and cleaning: The oropharyngeal airway should be disinfected and cleaned before use to prevent cross infection. It can be cleaned with appropriate disinfectant or hot water, and ensure that the oropharyngeal airway is completely dry.

3. Correct insertion: When inserting the oropharyngeal airway, the patient's head should be tilted back and the device should be inserted into the patient's mouth until it reaches the appropriate position. Be careful not to insert it forcefully to avoid damaging the patient's oral tissue.

4. Monitoring and adjustment: When using the oropharyngeal airway, the patient's breathing and oxygen saturation need to be closely monitored. If the airway is found to be blocked or the patient has difficulty breathing, the position of the airway should be adjusted in time or the oropharyngeal airway of the appropriate size should be replaced.

5.Post-use treatment: The oropharyngeal airway is a disposable device and should be discarded immediately after use and properly disposed of to prevent cross infection.
