Guedel airways are medical devices used to maintain a patent airway in unconscious patients, particularly during anesthesia or in emergency situations such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). They are designed to be inserted into the mouth to prevent the tongue from obstructing the upper airway and to facilitate the passage of air into the lungs. Guedel airways come in various sizes to accommodate different patient anatomies and are an essential tool for airway management in healthcare settings.
