How to fill out insert a nasopharyngeal airway

How to insert a nasopharyngeal airway:

1. Ensure proper positioning of the patient: The patient should be positioned supine with their head tilted back slightly to open the airway. If necessary, manually open the mouth to facilitate insertion.
2. Measure the appropriate size: Select the appropriate size of nasopharyngeal airway based on the patient's anatomy. Measure the airway by aligning its tip to the earlobe and extending it to the nostril.
3. Lubricate the nasopharyngeal airway: Apply a water-based lubricant to the nasopharyngeal airway to ease insertion and minimize trauma to the nasal passages.
4. Insert the nasopharyngeal airway: Hold the airway with the bevel facing upward. Slowly and gently insert the airway into one nostril, following the natural curve of the nasal passage. Advance the airway until the flange rests against the nostril.
5. Confirm correct placement: Ensure that the nasopharyngeal airway is properly placed by confirming bilateral airflow through both nostrils and assessing for signs of improved air exchange.
6. Secure the nasopharyngeal airway: Use medical tape or an adjustable strap to secure the nasopharyngeal airway in place. Ensure it is not too tight to impede circulation or cause discomfort.
7. Monitor the patient: Continuously monitor the patient's respiratory status and comfort level after inserting the nasopharyngeal airway. Make any necessary adjustments or seek professional assistance if complications arise.

Who needs to insert a nasopharyngeal airway:

1. Individuals with obstructed airways: Nasopharyngeal airways are commonly used in emergency medical situations where the patient's airway is blocked or compromised, such as during trauma, unconsciousness, or severe respiratory distress.
2. Patients undergoing anesthesia: Nasopharyngeal airways may be utilized during general anesthesia to maintain an open airway and facilitate ventilation.
3. Patients with compromised consciousness: Individuals with altered mental status or reduced consciousness levels, such as those suffering from drug overdose or neurological conditions, may require the placement of a nasopharyngeal airway to ensure adequate oxygenation.

Remember, the accurate insertion of a nasopharyngeal airway may require proper training and should be performed by trained healthcare professionals.
