airway equipment
Airway equipment refers to medical tools used to help someone breathe when their airway is blocked or breathing is impaired. This includes devices like endotracheal tubes inserted into the windpipe to maintain airflow, masks or face shields that deliver oxygen, and suction devices to remove obstructions from the throat. These tools ensure that oxygen reaches the lungs and that breathing is effective, especially in emergency or surgical situations. Proper airway management can be lifesaving, preventing suffocation and supporting patients until normal breathing resumes.
