Inserting Nasopharyngeal Airway

 

Inserting Nasopharyngeal Airway Introduction

Disposable nasopharyngeal airway is used in general anaesthesia, intensive care and emergency medicine for airway management and mechanical ventilation. The tube is inserted into a patient's nose in order to ensure that the airway is not closed off and that air is able to reach the lungs.

• Soft, flexible anatomically designed airway adjunct
• Sized by measuring from the tip of the patient's nose to the earlobe
• described by internal diameter in mm (range from 3.0–9.0 mm)
• commonly 6–7 mm in an adult female and 7–8 mm for an adult male

1. Before use, please select a nasopharyngeal airway of appropriate size.
2. Remove nasopharyngeal airway from the package and check whether the instrument is in good condition.
3. The curve of the nasopharyngeal airway is inserted into the nasal cavity facing the hard palate and pushed downward along the plane of the jaw to the hard palate until resistance is encountered on the posterior wall of the nasopharynx.
4. After the nasopharyngeal airway has been inserted to sufficient depth, move it back 1 to 2cm if client coughs or resists. If the respiratory obstruction is still present, move down to find the optimal position of the front end in the pharynx with an aerosol effect, or try to insert another longer nasopharyngeal airway.
5. Then fix the nasopharyngeal airway distally to the alar of the nose.
