Tracheal intubation Tracheal intubation is indicated in a variety of situations when illness or a medical procedure prevents a person from maintaining a clear airway, breathing, and oxygenating the blood. In these circumstances, oxygen supplementation using a simple face mask is inadequate.

Laryngeal mask airway Laryngeal mask airway. A laryngeal mask airway — also known as laryngeal mask— is a medical device that keeps a patient's airway open during anaesthesia or unconsciousness. It is a type of supraglottic airway.

Choking [edit on Wikidata] Choking is the mechanical obstruction of the flow of air from the environment into the lungs. Choking prevents breathing, and can be partial or complete, with partial choking allowing some, although inadequate, flow of air into the lungs. Prolonged or complete choking results in asphyxia which leads to anoxia and is potentially fatal. Oxygen stored in the blood and lungs can keep a person alive for several minutes after breathing stops. Choking can be caused by: Physical obstruction of the airway by a foreign body.

AAP Expands Guidelines for Infant Sleep Safety and SIDS Risk Reduction The policy statement and technical report provide global recommendations for education and safety related to SIDS risk reduction. In addition, the AAP is providing recommendations on a safe sleeping environment that can reduce the risk of all sleep-related infant deaths, including SIDS. Three important additions to the recommendations include: 1  Breastfeeding is recommended and is associated with a reduced risk of SIDS.

How important is an air bag to car's safety? An airbag is a type of vehicle safety device and is an occupant restraint system. The airbag module is designed to inflate extremely rapidly then quickly deflate during a collision or impact with a surface or a rapid sudden deceleration. It consists of the airbag cushion, a flexible fabric bag, inflation module and impact sensor. The purpose of the airbag is to provide the occupants a soft cushioning and restraint during a crash event to prevent any impact or impact-caused injuries between the flailing occupant and the interior of the vehicle.

Mechanical ventilation There are various procedures and mechanical devices that provide protection against airway collapse, air leakage, and aspiration: 1  Face mask — In resuscitation and for minor procedures under anaesthesia, a face mask is often sufficient to achieve a seal against air leakage.

airway 1 a tubular passage for movement of air into and out of the lung. An airway with a diameter greater than 2 mm is defined as a large, or central, airway such as a mainstream bronchus; one smaller than 2 mm is considered a small, or peripheral, airway such as a terminal bronchus.

Spring 2016 by Matthew A. Knealing |. Effective and aggressive emergency airway management for the prehospital healthcare provider has been endotracheal intubation for nearly thirty years. In the past 4 to 7 years many medical device companies have invented many new devices that all claim to be better than endotracheal intubation.

First Aid/Airway Management The head-tilt chin-lift is the most reliable method of opening the airway. The simplest way of ensuring an open airway in an unconscious patient is to use a head tilt chin lift technique, thereby lifting the tongue from the back of the throat. ILCOR no longer advocates use of the jaw thrust, even for spinal-injured victims. Instead, continue use of the head-tilt chin-lift. If there is no risk of spinal injury, it is preferable to use the head-tilt chin-lift procedure which is easier to perform and maintain.

- In order for inhaled asthma medicines to work well, they need to reach the lungs. Attaching a spacer to your prescribed asthma inhaler helps the medicine do just that. Using a spacer is recommended for anyone who uses an asthma inhaler. A spacer is a plastic tube that creates “space” between your mouth and the aerosolized medicine from the inhaler. This allows the medicine to move more easily into the lungs. A valved holding chamber, like NEW InspiraChamber ® , is a type of spacer with additional features designed to enhance the delivery of inhaled asthma therapies.

Automobile safety Automobile safety is the study and practice of design, construction, equipment and regulation to minimize the occurrence and consequences of traffic collisions. Road traffic safety more broadly includes roadway design. One of the first formal academic studies into improving vehicle safety was by Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory of Buffalo, New York. The main conclusion of their extensive report is the crucial importance of seat belts and padded dashboards.

- Mouth-to-mouth resuscitaton (or rescue breathing) is when a person breathes into the mouth and/or nose of an unconscious patient. CPR is solely the act of providing chest compressions and rescue breathing to stimulate the flow of oxygen and blood in a person's body while waiting for intervention to … restart or reset the heart.

Ventilation The primary control for welding/cutting fumes and toxic gases is appropriate ventilation. Adequate ventilation is when airflow is sufficient to control worker exposure to hazardous welding fumes and gases and exposure limits are not exceeded. OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) and ACGIH Threshold Limit Values (TLV) are specific to the metals/gases being used in the welding application.
