Airway Management Devices: Insights, Needs, and Applications

Airway management devices are the devices used for the management of airway obstruction. Airway obstruction can be acute or chronic, depending on the severity of the disease. These devices consist of set procedures and operations, which are used to prevent and treat airway obstruction.

The airway devices open the blocked pathways and provide a large area for gas exchange between the patient’s pulmonary system and the outer environment. Airway blockage is caused due to the entry of foreign objects and the accumulation of foreign fluids, like gastric and body contents. Airway management is a process done to restore normal ventilation and is essential in emergency medicine.

The most prominent devices in the market are endotracheal, oropharyngeal, and nasopharyngeal systems. The oropharyngeal systems open the pathway through the mouth, while in nasopharyngeal devices, a tube is passed through a nasal passage to open the obstructed course. In the endotracheal airways, a tube is passed through the trachea, which is further connected to the ventilator, which delivers oxygen to the lungs.

Basic and advanced airway management is done to manage regular choking to chronic blockage. Basic airway management systems are non-invasive and do not require any specialised medical equipment. On the other hand, advanced airway management systems are invasive and require suitable therapeutic interventions to manage critically ill patients.

Airway Management Devices Market Scenario

The rising prevalence of respiratory disorders, triggered by the rising pollution levels and unhealthy lifestyle habits like smoking and vaping, is aiding the demand for airway management devices market. Around 65 million cases are diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, which is responsible for further propelling the growth of this market.

The increased investments in the research and development sector by top companies are also anticipated to boost the airway management devices market. The rising funds by the government authorities are expected to propel market growth.

Moreover, novel product launches will help in the expansion of the market. This is expected to generate significant revenue. For example, launching an augmented infant resuscitator will help in decreasing neonatal mortality caused due to obstructive flow.

Rapid increase in mergers and acquisitions is expected to boost the market value, as these collaborations help in the generating more significant revenue shares. For example, in 2017, MedisizeB.V. was acquired by Flexicare to expand its business in European countries. Hence, these acquisitions will help in the development of the airway management devices market during the forecast period.

Therapeutic Landscape

Airway management devices perform therapeutic interventions for a wide range of indications. The airway management systems help treat acute blockage to chronic obstructions. The blockage is due to the inflammation of the airway, injury of the airway, and increased secretions of saliva and mucus.

The severity of the obstruction decides the treatment pathway. There are two fundamental pathways, basic and advanced. Basic airway management techniques are non-invasive and manage airway obstruction without the need for any medical equipment. The primary management techniques include abdominal thrusts and chest compressions.

Emerging Technologies

The technological advancements in supraglottic airway devices are used to provide optimal oxygenation. For achieving the intubation, stylets are used for opening the obstructive airflow. In modern times, incorporating fibre optic display will give a good view of tracheal anatomy.

Laryngoscopes have witnessed rapid development in the last decade. However, the novel laryngoscopes are still under evaluation. These novel and effective devices are incorporated with optical and LED light sources that will help in the better diagnosis of pulmonary disorders.

The laryngeal masks used for intubation have also been modified with video elements to get a better and more detailed view of the chronic obstructions. The clinical trials for a laryngeal mask equipped with a disposable video camera have been completed, but it still requires further evaluation before being launched in the airway management devices market.

Scientists have also invented novel surgical interventions to treat air obstruction in chronic pulmonary disorders. In these new surgical procedures, tracheal access is assured by sensation with a finger. After confirmation, bougie and insertion of the endotracheal tube are done. Several ongoing clinical trials are emerging as they key trends which are likely to bolster the growth of the market.
