Blind insertion airway device, the Glossary

A blind insertion airway device (BIAD or blind insertion device) is a medical device used for airway management that ensures an open pathway between a patient's lungs and the outside world, as well as reducing the risk of aspiration, which can be placed without visualization of the glottis.^[1]

Airway management

Airway management includes a set of maneuvers and medical procedures performed to prevent and relieve airway obstruction.

See Blind insertion airway device and Airway management

Catheter

In medicine, a catheter is a thin tube made from medical grade materials serving a broad range of functions.

See Blind insertion airway device and Catheter

Combitube

The Combitube—also known as the esophageal tracheal airway or esophageal tracheal double-lumen airway—is a blind insertion airway device (BIAD) used in the pre-hospital and emergency setting.

Emergency medical services

Emergency medical services (EMS), also known as ambulance services or paramedic services, are emergency services that provide urgent pre-hospital treatment and stabilisation for serious illness and injuries and transport to definitive care.

See Blind insertion airway device and Emergency medical services

Emergency medicine

Emergency medicine is the medical speciality concerned with the care of illnesses or injuries requiring immediate medical attention.

See Blind insertion airway device and Emergency medicine

Esophageal dilation

Esophageal dilation or oesophageal dilatation (British English) is a therapeutic endoscopic procedure that enlarges the lumen of the esophagus.

See Blind insertion airway device and Esophageal dilation

Glottis

The glottis (glottises or glottides) is the opening between the vocal folds (the rima glottidis).

Laryngeal mask airway

A laryngeal mask airway (LMA), also known as laryngeal mask, is a medical device that keeps a patient's airway open during anaesthesia or while they are unconscious. Blind insertion airway device and laryngeal mask airway are Anesthetic equipment.

See Blind insertion airway device and Laryngeal mask airway

Laryngeal tube

The laryngeal tube (also known as the King LT) is an airway management device designed as an alternative to other airway management techniques such as mask ventilation, laryngeal mask airway, and tracheal intubation. Blind insertion airway device and laryngeal tube are medical equipment.

Lung

The lungs are the central organs of the respiratory system in humans and some other animals, including tetrapods, some snails and a small number of fish.

See Blind insertion airway device and Lung

Medical device

A medical device is any device intended to be used for medical purposes.

See Blind insertion airway device and Medical device

Nasopharyngeal airway

In medicine, a nasopharyngeal airway, also known as an NPA, nasal trumpet (because of its flared end), or nose hose, is a type of airway adjunct, a tube that is designed to be inserted through the nasal passage down into the posterior pharynx to secure an open airway. Blind insertion airway device and nasopharyngeal airway are medical equipment.

Oropharyngeal airway

An oropharyngeal airway (also known as an oral airway, OPA or Guedel pattern airway) is a medical device called an airway adjunct used in airway management to maintain or open a patient's airway.

See Blind insertion airway device and Oropharyngeal airway

Pulmonary aspiration

Pulmonary aspiration is the entry of material such as pharyngeal secretions, food or drink, or stomach contents from the oropharynx or gastrointestinal tract, into the larynx (voice box) and lower respiratory tract, the portions of the respiratory system from the trachea (windpipe) to the lungs.

See Blind insertion airway device and Pulmonary aspiration

Tracheal intubation

Tracheal intubation, usually simply referred to as intubation, is the placement of a flexible plastic tube into the trachea (windpipe) to maintain an open airway or to serve as a conduit through which to administer certain drugs. Blind insertion airway device and tracheal intubation are medical equipment.
