To keep patients' airways open, doctors typically use an airway management device. The device permits gas exchange between the lungs and the outside air by keeping the patient's airway open. In hospitals, a variety of devices, including oropharyngeal airways, nasopharyngeal airways, laryngeal mask airways, and tracheal incubation, are used to provide anesthesia to patients. Chronic diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cancer, and chronic lung diseases are becoming more common in the population as a result of increased physiological risk factors Changes in lifestyle, physical inactivity, poor diet, and habitual habits such as tobacco and heavy alcohol use are examples of risk factors. Furthermore, as a result of these and other chronic diseases, the global death rate among patients is rising.
Global Airway Management Devices Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Airway problems are common in patients with infectious, chronic, or cardiac diseases, necessitating rapid treatment. Similarly, those involved in a car accident or who have suffered other traumatic injuries may require immediate airway clearance to protect their safety. Because of the rising frequency of such cases, there is an increase in global demand for airway management devices.
The increased prevalence of respiratory ailments is one of the primary reasons driving the market. In addition, as the number of procedures grows, so does the need of anaesthetic. This, along with the numerous benefits of airway management devices, such as high efficiency in airway clearance and the maintenance of optimum ventilation and patient safety during operating procedures, is also helping to drive market growth.
Endotracheal intubation, tracheostomy, and cricothyrotomy all require highly qualified anaesthetists and nurses. A lack of knowledge regarding the best urgent therapy might worsen the patient's health, prolong recovery time, and increase direct and indirect costs. In an emergency, improper diagnosis and treatment of significant injuries can lead to abnormalities, dysfunction of the affected area, or even death.
The global lack of anaesthetists and paramedics has arisen as a key problem for governments worldwide. Scarcity has had a direct impact on the efficiency and capacity of healthcare facilities in providing surgical and emergency treatment, restricting demand for airway management devices utilised in these procedures.
Impact of COVID-19 on Global Airway Management Devices Market
The number of patients hospitalised to intensive care units and emergency departments has increased as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic. Positive air pressure devices, such ventilators, are often required for patients with severe infections because they often develop respiratory failure or low oxygen saturation. Consequently, there is a growing need for airway control devices, especially single-use ones. There is a greater number of patients who require invasive airway management treatments for intubation since non-invasive methods have the ability to aerosolize virus particles. Single-use device demand has increased since medical professionals who treat COVID-19 patients and other patients in hospitals and clinics are placing themselves at risk when providing airway management treatment.
