Additional Information for Airway-Esophageal Obturator
Airway-Esophageal Obturator is a medical device used in emergency situations to establish and maintain an airway in patients who are unable to breathe on their own. It is specifically designed to be inserted into the esophagus to prevent the passage of air or other substances into the stomach.
The Airway-Esophageal Obturator consists of a tube with an inflatable cuff at one end and a handle at the other end. The cuff is inflated once the device is inserted into the esophagus, creating a seal and preventing the passage of air or fluids. This allows for the delivery of oxygen or other gases directly into the trachea, bypassing the esophagus.
This device is commonly used in emergency medicine, anesthesia, and critical care settings. It is important to note that the Airway-Esophageal Obturator should only be used by trained medical professionals who are familiar with its proper insertion and use.
In summary, the Airway-Esophageal Obturator is a medical device used to establish and maintain an airway in emergency situations by preventing the passage of air or fluids into the stomach.
