5. 사용 설명서
The following steps outline the general procedure for inserting the Cath-Guide Airway. Always follow established medical protocols and clinical judgment.
- 환자 자세: Place the patient in a supine position with the head tilted back (unless contraindicated).
- Open Mouth: Gently open the patient's mouth.
- Insert Airway:
- Insert the airway with the curve pointing upwards (towards the hard palate).
- Advance the airway until the tip reaches the soft palate.
- Rotate the airway 180 degrees as it passes the uvula, so the curve points downwards, guiding the tip into the oropharynx.
- Alternatively, use a tongue depressor to hold the tongue down and forward, then insert the airway with the curve already pointing downwards.
- Confirm Placement: Ensure the flange rests against the patient's lips and the airway is maintaining patency. Verify adequate ventilation.
