supraglottic airway devices

Supraglottic airway devices are tools used to help keep a patient’s airway open during medical procedures or in emergencies. They are placed above the vocal cords in the throat, ensuring that air can flow in and out of the lungs without requiring intubation, which involves inserting a tube into the trachea. These devices are often used in situations like surgery or in cases of severe injury, allowing healthcare providers to manage breathing safely and effectively while minimizing discomfort and complications for the patient.
