Oral Airways Indicated to establish a patent airway in emergency situation and following procedures such as surgery  Oropharengeal Airway (OPA)  Function:  Airway adjuct unsed to maintain or open the airway by stopping the tongue from covering the epiglottis. [1]  The tongue may prevent an individual from breathing. This happens when a person becomes unconscious and the jaaw muscles relax causing the tongue to obstruct the airway hence, OPA is used. [1]  Usually not used for patients with gag reflex because it might cause vomiting which might lead to aspiration. [1]  Nasopharengeal Airway (NPA)  Function:  Utilized to assist with patient oxygenation and ventilation in patients who are difficult to oxygenate or ventilate. [2]  Does not cause the patient to gag unlike the OPA. [2]  A better choice for semi-conscious patients. [2]  Only acts as bridge to either a stabilized patient that is breathing without aid or a patient that requires a secure airway via endotracheal or nasotracheal intubation. [2] ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE  A tube that is placed between the vocal cords through the trachea. [3]  Serves to provide oxygen and inhaled gases to the lungs and protects the lungs from contamination, such as gastric contents or blood. [3]  They are usually attached to a mechanical ventilator or an Ambu bag. [3]  OROTRACHEAL TUBE

Please obtain permission prior to use for other purposes.  Function:  Used in cases where invasive mechanical ventilation ins required like in intensive care units (ICU) and some general anesthesia. [4]  NASOTRACHEAL TUBE  Function:  Passes an endotracheal tube through the naris, into the nasoharynx and the trachea. Most commonly after induction of general anesthesa. [5]  Permits the administration of anesthetic gases without limiting access to intra oral anatomy. [5]  Usually used for dental, oropharnygeal and maxilofacial operations. [5]  Causes less gagging and is better tolerated in awake patients. [5]  TRACHEOSTOMY TUBE  Function:  Tube is coursed through a hole that surgeons make through the front of the neck and into the windpip (trachea). [6]  Tracheotomy – surgical procedure to create an opening to the trachea. [6]  Provied an air passage for breathing. [6]  Often needed when health problems require long-term use of a mechanical ventilator. Usually more than one or two weeks. [6]  Generally prevents speaking becaue exhaled air goes out the tube. However, there are devies and techniques that will redirect airflow enough to produce speech. [6] VENTILATION DEVICES
