METHOD FOR MASK LUNG VENTILATION IN ANAESTHESIA INDUCTION IN CHILDREN SUFFERING FROM NASAL AND NASOPHARYNGEAL OBSTRUCTION Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61M16/06 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: observing signs of developing airway obstruction, the neck is extended, the lower jaw is projected, and the mouth is opened. A mask is supported with left and right hands with the little fingers placed at the angles of the jaw. The middle and fourth fingers are projected, and the mouth is slightly opened, while the second and first fingers tightly fix the face mask. If any manipulations are required, the mask is supported by the left hand, while the manipulations are performed by the right hand. That is followed by two forced inhalations through the face mask. Lung ventilation effectiveness is assessed by a chest excursion. An airway pressure is maintained at no more than 20 mBar. The adequate lung ventilation requires the intravenous administration of a muscle relaxant and the tracheal intubation.

EFFECT: method provides the adequate ventilation in the children suffering from the nasal and nasopharyngeal obstruction, as long as the timely tracheal intubation is impossible, and with using no air tubes before the muscle relaxant are used.
