A: Guedel Airways should be kept in a dry place and within their original sterile blister or peel-pack packaging until use. Proper storage will protect them from contamination and help maintain their guaranteed sterility and effectiveness throughout their 5-year shelf life.
Q: What is the standard process for using a Guedel Airway in emergency situations?
A: In emergency or clinical scenarios, the correct size is selected using the color code system. Following size selection, the airway is removed from its sterile pack and inserted into the patients mouth to maintain airway patency, especially in unconscious individuals. As a single-use, sterile device, it should be discarded after each patient to prevent cross-infection.
Q: When is it necessary to use a Guedel Airway?
