The Guedel
Airways are designed for free air flow. By protecting from airway occlusion
from the relaxation of the tongue in an unconscious patient.
The Guedel Airway devices have a central lumen which allows for
various suction catheters to be inserted. The top section has a colour coded
section for rapid identifying of size as well as a thickened area for
protection from biting. This bite block is ideal for patients with seizures and
unprotected airways.
Also it has benefits for the intubated patient disallowing them from crushing
the endotracheal tube.
There are various sizes available from neonate to large adult. It is important
to choose the right size; the size of the Guedel airway is the length between
the corner of the mouth and the ear lobe. It is inserted into the patient's
mouth upward while holding the tongue and rotated when introduced to point
downward.
