What is the most common complication after inserting and oral airway?
The most common complication after inserting an oral airway is airway obstruction, which can occur if the airway is improperly positioned or if the patient has a gag reflex that leads to vomiting. Other potential complications include trauma to the oral cavity or airway structures, such as the lips, gums, or teeth. Additionally, the insertion of an oral airway may provoke coughing or choking in some patients. Proper technique and sizing are crucial to minimize these risks.
When to use oral airway?
One of the biggest reasons to establish an oral-pharyngeal airway is if there is risk of losing a patent airway. For example, if the throat might swell from injury/trauma or allergic reaction. Another example: To protect heart and brain when the airway might close off completely, such as in severe respiratory distress like a severe asthma attack.

If weak or no respiration's give O2. Confirm adequate respiration's before checking circulation, the next step.

What is an Oral device to help sleep apnea?
An oral device for sleep apnea, often referred to as a mandibular advancement device (MAD), is a custom-fitted mouthpiece designed to keep the airway open during sleep. It works by repositioning the jaw and tongue to prevent airway obstruction. These devices are typically prescribed for individuals with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea and can be a comfortable alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is essential to ensure effectiveness and comfort.
What is the medical procedure to gain access below a blocked airway?
The medical procedure to gain access below a blocked airway is called a tracheostomy. This involves creating an incision in the neck to insert a tube directly into the trachea, allowing for ventilation and bypassing the obstruction. This procedure is typically performed in emergency situations when other methods of airway management, such as intubation, are not possible or effective. It is crucial for restoring airflow and can be lifesaving in cases of severe airway obstruction.
