Description

A pediatric Guedel airway is a medical device used to maintain an open airway in pediatric patients, particularly during resuscitation or anesthesia procedures. It is a curved plastic tube with a flange at one end and a beveled tip at the other. The flange prevents the airway from being inserted too deeply into the patient's mouth, while the beveled tip helps guide the device past the tongue and into the pharynx, preventing obstruction of the airway by the tongue or soft tissues. Pediatric Guedel airways come in various sizes to fit children of different ages and sizes, and they are essential tools for ensuring adequate ventilation and oxygenation in pediatric patients during medical emergencies.
