  2. Advanced airway management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_airway_management

    Supraglottic airway devices, direct laryngoscopy, indirect video laryngoscopy, and fiberoptic intubation are all techniques which can be used to secure the pediatric airway. In the event that these techniques cannot adequately ventilate the patient, a surgical airway may be required.

  3. Laryngeal mask airway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laryngeal_mask_airway

    A laryngeal mask airway has an airway tube that connects to an elliptical mask with a cuff. The cuff can either be an inflating type (achieved after insertion using a syringe of air), or self-sealing. [citation needed] A laryngeal mask airway must first be completely sterilised (it may be reused many times). [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airway_management

    Laryngeal mask airway (LMA). Example of a supraglottic device. Management of the airway in the emergency department is optimal given the presence of trained personnel from multiple specialties, as well as access to "difficult airway equipment" (videolaryngoscopy, eschmann tracheal tube introducer, fiberoptic bronchoscopy, surgical methods, etc ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laryngeal_tube

    The laryngeal tube (also known as the King LT) [1] is an airway management device designed as an alternative to other airway management techniques such as mask ventilation, laryngeal mask airway, and tracheal intubation.

  6. Oropharyngeal airway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oropharyngeal_airway

    An oropharyngeal airway (also known as an oral airway, OPA or Guedel pattern airway) is a medical device called an airway adjunct used in airway management to maintain or open a patient's airway. It does this by preventing the tongue from covering the epiglottis, which could prevent the person from breathing. When a person becomes unconscious ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_ventilation

    After the introduction of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in 1998, supraglottic airway devices have become mainstream in both elective and emergency anesthesia. [50] There are many types of SGAs available including the esophageal-tracheal combitube (ETC), laryngeal tube (LT), and the obsolete esophageal obturator airway (EOA).
