Additional Information for Esophageal Airway Kit
An Esophageal Airway Kit is a medical device used to establish and maintain an open airway in patients who are unable to breathe on their own or have difficulty breathing. It is commonly used in emergency situations or during anesthesia.
The kit typically includes an esophageal airway tube, which is a flexible tube that is inserted into the patient's esophagus to create a clear passage for air to flow into the lungs. The tube is available in different sizes to accommodate patients of various ages and sizes.
Esophageal airway kits also often include a lubricant to facilitate the insertion of the tube, as well as a syringe or bulb to inflate a cuff on the tube once it is in place. The inflated cuff helps to secure the tube in the esophagus and prevent air leakage.
These kits are part of the supply class Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies, which encompasses a wide range of medical devices and instruments used in various medical procedures. They fall under the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies, which includes equipment and supplies used in medical, dental, and veterinary practices.
It is important to note that the use of esophageal airway kits requires proper training and expertise to ensure safe and effective placement. They should only be used by qualified healthcare professionals in appropriate clinical settings.
