Problems of current guedel airway

Guedel oropharyngeal airway as one of the oral airways device is a great invention, but it has some tricky problems in use.
For example, during the recovery period from anesthesia, there is a certain probability that the tongue falling back will occur after extubation, or the airway might be obstructed due to excessive oral secretions. In these cases, the doctor needs to hold the mandible in time or reposition the oropharyngeal tube or nasopharyngeal airway, or even re-intubate when necessary.

Guedel oropharyngeal airway, also known as Guedel airway or Guedel tube, is a medical device used to maintain an open airway in unconscious or sedated patients. It is commonly used during anesthesia administration, resuscitation, and in emergency situations.

The Guedel airway is a rigid plastic tube with a curved shape that is inserted into the patient's mouth and extends into the oropharynx. It is designed to prevent the tongue from obstructing the airway and to facilitate the passage of air and gases. The device has a flange or bite block at the proximal end, which helps to keep it in place and prevents it from being inserted too far into the patient's mouth.

In response to these problems, Our company innovated this new soft oral airway devices, which is also multi-function type opa airway.

Our company is a Chinese company and factory for oropharyngeal airway.

This special-shaped oral airway device is double side ventilation designed, it can open the patients' airway completely, multi-function and compatible with other devices. What's more, it brings new, simple and safer anesthesia process. It designed with three sizes, small size for pediatric, middle and large size for adult.

The Guedel airway is available in various sizes to accommodate different patient age groups, ranging from infants to adults. The correct size is chosen based on the patient's anatomical characteristics, such as the distance from the corner of the mouth to the angle of the jaw.

To insert a Guedel airway, the patient's head is placed in a neutral position, and the mouth is opened. The device is inserted gently, with the curved tip facing the roof of the mouth. Once in place, it helps to keep the patient's tongue forward, preventing it from blocking the airway and allowing for easier ventilation.

It is important to note that the Guedel airway does not protect the patient's airway from aspiration of fluids or solids. Therefore, it should not be used in patients with a gag reflex or in situations where the patient is at risk of vomiting. Additionally, proper monitoring and frequent assessment of the patient's airway are essential when using the Guedel airway to ensure its effectiveness and patient safety.

As always, healthcare professionals should be consulted for proper insertion, sizing, and use of the Guedel oropharyngeal airway, as well as for any specific guidance or protocols in their clinical setting.

How to use Guedel Oropharyngeal Airway?

To use a Guedel oropharyngeal airway, follow these general steps:

Select the appropriate size: Choose the size of the Guedel airway based on the patient's age and anatomical characteristics. The airway should be long enough to reach from the corner of the mouth to the angle of the jaw without being inserted too deeply.

Prepare the patient: Position the patient's head in a neutral position, aligning the oral, pharyngeal, and tracheal axes. Open the patient's mouth by using a tongue depressor or jaw thrust technique if necessary.

Lubricate the airway: Apply a water-based lubricant to the Guedel airway to facilitate smooth insertion.

Insert the airway: Hold the Guedel airway with the curved tip facing upwards. Insert the airway into the mouth, following the natural curve of the tongue. Gently advance the airway along the roof of the mouth until it reaches the back of the throat (oropharynx). Avoid forcing or causing any trauma during insertion.

Rotate the airway: Once the airway is fully inserted, rotate it 180 degrees so that the curved tip faces downwards, resting against the soft palate. This helps prevent the tongue from blocking the airway.

Confirm proper placement: Ensure that the Guedel airway is not inserted too deeply or not deep enough. The flange or bite block of the airway should sit just outside the patient's lips, and the patient's teeth should be positioned between the bite block and the airway shaft.

Secure the airway: If necessary, secure the Guedel airway in place by using medical tape or other appropriate methods. This helps prevent accidental dislodgement.

Monitor the patient: Continuously monitor the patient's airway, breathing, and oxygenation. Observe for any signs of airway obstruction or complications.

Remember, the use of the Guedel oropharyngeal airway should be performed by trained healthcare professionals who are familiar with airway management techniques. It is important to follow institutional guidelines and protocols specific to your clinical setting.
