Nasopharyngeal Airway 6FR is a soft, flexible tube designed to maintain an open airway by passing through the nasal passage into the pharynx. It is commonly used for infants or very small pediatric patients, especially when the patient is semi-conscious and has an active gag reflex that prevents the use of an oral airway.
Detailed Features:
- Size: 6 French (small size, about 2 mm in diameter), ideal for infants and neonates.
- Material: Made of soft, medical-grade plastic or rubber to reduce nasal trauma.
- Shape: Smooth, rounded tip to ease insertion; flared end prevents the device from slipping completely inside the nostril.
- Function: Keeps the airway open by bypassing obstructions like the tongue or soft tissue collapse at the back of the throat.
- Color-Coded: Some models are color-coded for quick size identification.
- Sterility: Usually individually packed and sterile for single use.
Main Uses:
- Emergency Care: Helps maintain airway patency in patients with altered levels of consciousness.
- Pre-Hospital Care: Used in ambulances and emergency response situations.
- During Anesthesia: Assists in maintaining an open airway during sedation or minor procedures.
- Trauma Care: Useful when oral insertion is risky, like in cases of jaw fractures or facial injuries.
Important Precautions:
- Avoid use in patients with suspected skull fractures or severe nasal trauma.
- Always lubricate well before insertion to minimize injury.
- Monitor continuously after insertion to ensure the airway stays patent and there are no complications like bleeding or blockage.
