Supraglottic Airway
A supraglottic airway (SGA) is placed above the vocal cords to maintain ventilation without entering the trachea, and is commonly used in anesthesia and emergency care.
Features
- Creates a seal around the laryngeal inlet using either an inflatable cuff or a gel-like anatomical design.
- Enables effective oxygenation and ventilation.
- Less invasive than endotracheal intubation.
- Seven sizes, from neonate to large adult.
