A Nasopharyngeal Airway (NPA) 6.5FR is a flexible, sterile tube inserted through the nasal passage to maintain an open airway in patients who are semi-conscious or unconscious. It is particularly useful when oropharyngeal airways are contraindicated due to an active gag reflex.
Main Use
The primary purpose of the NPA 6.5FR is to ensure airway patency in patients who are breathing spontaneously but require assistance to keep the airway unobstructed. It is commonly employed in emergency care, anesthesia, and pre-hospital settings.
Key Features
- Size: 6.5 French (approximately 2.2 mm in diameter), suitable for pediatric or small adult patients.
- Material: Constructed from soft, flexible materials like white polyethylene to minimize mucosal trauma.
- Design: Features a flared end to prevent the device from slipping into the nasal cavity and side vents to facilitate airflow.
- Packaging: Individually packaged in a sterile format for single use.
Precautions
- Contraindications: Not recommended for patients with facial or nasal trauma, especially if a skull fracture is suspected.
- Insertion: Proper lubrication and gentle insertion are essential to prevent nasal mucosa injury.
- Monitoring: Continuous observation is necessary to ensure the airway remains patent and to assess for any complications.
