Version: Oropharyngeal (OP) airways curved plastic device assists in the maintenance of an adequate airway in the unconscious casualty keeps the airway clear and the tongue in place 49 Flange Bite block

Version: OP airways An airway blocked by the tongue Using an OP airway to assist with a clear airway 50

Version: OP airway sizing Leave airway in the packaging for sizing process The airway must extend from the centre of patient’s lips, to the angle of the jaw X X Too small Too big Correct sizing

Version: OP airway precautions Only insert into deeply unconscious or non- breathing ADULT casualties - not children Lateral position for unconscious breathing casualties When casualty is non-breathing, insertion can be made on back or side (lateral position) Airway should NOT be inserted while chest compressions are being performed on the casualty 52

Version: Preparation for insertion Tilt casualty’s head backwards, open casualty’s mouth using jaw support (or thrust) Check casualty’s airway and manually clear if required Size oropharyngeal airway Remove airway from packet (squeeze plastic bag) and lubricate airway using water or casualty’s saliva 53

Version: OP airway insertion method Hold airway by the flange and with the flange’s tip pointing towards roof of mouth, insert airway until roof of the mouth resistance is felt, (approx 1/3 length).

Version: OP airway insertion method (continued) Gently push airway further in, rotate 180 degrees until airway tip points downwards and then slide over patient’s tongue into the back of the pharynx until the flange is touching the patient’s lips.

Version: OP airway insertion A correctly inserted Oropharyngeal airway.

Version: OP airway insertion precautions Ensure lower lip is NOT pinched between teeth and airway Ensure OP airway does NOT push tongue backwards and block the casualty’s airway Ensure adequate head tilt before inserting airway Do NOT force the airway into the mouth 57

Version: OP airway insertion & the mask Insertion of the airway will not interfere with the use of oxygen resuscitation equipment.

Version: Activity Activity (Group) 2.5: Sizing and Inserting OP Airways In pairs practice choosing the correct size OP airway for your partner. If an airway manikin is available, practise inserting the OP airway, otherwise describe the process to your partner in your own words. 59

Version: Use of suction 62

Version: Manual suction units 63

Version: Failure of suction apparatus Oxygen supply exhausted (for oxygen powered units) Suction tubing blocked Bottle full or cracked Seal missing or perished Not turned on 64

Version: Activity Activity (Individual) 3.1: Suction equipment Look at the suction equipment your club/service has available for use or the equipment you have been provided to train with. Identify the following components:  Suction catheter  Collection jar  Jar cap and connection port  Suction device  Vacuum port If you cannot identify all of the components check with your trainer. Your device may not have these exact components but will have something that performs the same function Test the function of your suction device by performing the checks described in your learner guide 65

Version: Suction Techniques Roll casualty on their side. Measure length of insertion on catheter Turn suction unit on (if battery or oxygen). Insert suction catheter inside bottom cheek. Use suction for 15 seconds only (five seconds for electric or oxygen powered) as extended use will deprive casualty of oxygen. Repeat procedure as necessary. Measuring for lips to corner of the jaw Suctioning – inserting no further than measured (top picture) 66

Version: Activity Activity (Group) 3.2: Administering suction In pairs or groups of three, practice assembling your suction equipment and sizing the insertion distance on your partner. If an appropriate manikin is available practice performing suction. NOTE: To ensure infection free training, do not place the suction catheter in your own mouth or that of your partner. 67
