I put together these medical challenges. The cases are hypothetical and do not necessarily represent actual or typical presentations of medical diseases. Disclaimer is at the bottom of this page.
this is a supraglottic airway management tool, we call it a King LTD
it is a very good tool which has the advantage ob blocking the esophagus with a cuff. it can be inserted blindly, so the tube ends up entering the upper-esophagus. there are 2 ventilation outlet on the anterior part to ensure sufficent ventilation. the advantage towards other OPA, NPA and other tools is that there is a partial protection from retrograde emptying of the stomach/emesis and so aspiration.
yep! i've never actually used it (and hope i don't have to) but it seems easy to use in a pinch - Airway II
This is a laryngeal tube. There is a pharyngeal cuff and a laryngeal cuff. A port between the two cuffs at the level of the laryngeal inlet allows gas exchange. This is occasionally used in pre-hospital airway management; its use in the difficult airway is quite limited.
