A decade ago, the esophageal obturator airway was introduced to fill the pressing need for a device that required less training than endotracheal intubation, would secure a patent airway rapidly and safely, would isolate the airway from the dangers of gastric distention and regurgitation, and would be compatible with other adjuncts to the airway.

The Esophageal Obturator Airway, a device designed for use in the management of cardiopulmonary arrest, obstructs the esophagus while simultaneously ventilating the lungs. The EOA was clinically tested in 29,000 patients with a low incidence of false entries and complications. Physiological studies …

An Esophageal Obturator is a type of airway adjunct device with a balloon at its distal end, used as an alternative to an endotracheal tube for emergency intubation in patients. AI generated definition based on: Benumof and Hagberg's Airway Management, 2013

While the tube is not the hazard-free device it was once thought to be, it has a place in emergency airway management in preventing insufflation of air into the stomach as well as aspiration of gastric contents. The esophageal obturator airway (EOA) was introduced for clinical use in 1973.

The esophageal obturator airway (EOA) has been considered a beneficial ventilatory technique for use in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). At present, seven studies in the literature compare the EOA with other means of ventilation in humans; only one is an actual field study of its effectiveness.

1976年1月1日 · The esophageal obturator airway (EOA) has been considered a useful ventilatory technique for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but quantitative analysis of its clinical effectiveness is not available.

The esophageal obturator airway (EOA) is a modification of their original “mouth-to-lung” airway. The EOA is simple to use, does not require a laryngoscope for insertion, and reduces the possibility of aspiration.

The esophageal obturator airway (EOA) has been used in cardiopulmonary resuscitation since 1973. The device is inserted into the esophagus and isolates the stomach from the airways by an occlusive balloon located below the tracheal bifurcation. It aims to prevent gastrointestinal inflation and regurgitation and to provide ventilation.

1983年8月26日 · The esophageal obturator airway (EOA) has been considered a beneficial ventilatory technique for use in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). At present, seven studies in the literature compare the EOA with other means of ventilation in humans; only one is an actual field study of its effectiveness.
