In an emergency, one of the doctor’s main tasks is to ensure the patient’s airway is clear.

The complex of these measures includes clearing the airways, maintaining free access of the oxygen mixture using special devices, and providing respiratory support measures.

Classification of devices to ensure cross-country ability

The main types of mechanical devices used to ensure the required level of patency of the patient's breathing path are:

  • air ducts;
  • tracheotomy tubes;
  • intubation tubes.

Air ducts - main characteristics

A medical air duct is a hollow tube of a curved configuration made of a polymer material. It has a special shape that ensures easy passage of the air mixture into the patient’s respiratory canals, preventing tongue retraction and the occurrence of asphyxia during surgical operations under general anesthesia. In addition, it is used during artificial respiration procedures.

Depending on the material of manufacture and design, air ducts are divided into three classes:

  1. according to Berman - used in situations where the patient is under general anesthesia or unconscious. Berman air ducts are made of a special material with a semi-rigid structure and have a curved tubular shape with side openings. In their structure they can be oro- or nasopharyngeal;
  2. by Guedel - a curved tube made of synthetic material with atraumatic edges. At the end of the air duct there is a special plate that protects it from falling into the throat. Color-coded and used for patients who have seizures or are receiving mechanical ventilation;
  3. polymer – air ducts made of special hypoallergenic polymer materials. They may consist of several component elements and are used to carry out artificial ventilation procedures.

Tracheotomy tubes - design

Tracheotomy tubes belong to the category of reusable medical instruments. They are made of stainless medical steel and can be disinfected and sterilized. The tube is inserted into the incision in the wall of the trachea, providing a flow of fresh air into the patient's lungs. At the end of the tube there is a special connector with which it is connected to a ventilator. A special cuff and valve may be placed on the end of the tube, which allows the patient to talk;

Intubation tubes - functional purpose

An endotracheal tube or endotracheal tube is a flexible tubular medical device that is used for tracheal intubation, insertion of a bronchoscope, catheters, supply of respiratory mixture, and administration of inhalation anesthetics. It is flexible, has a small diameter and may have a protective cuff at the end. Endotracheal tubes are used in anesthesiology, in intensive care and resuscitation departments.
