airway. 1  an air route equipped with emergency landing fields, beacon lights, radio beams, etc. 2  a passageway by which air passes from the nose or mouth to the air sacs of the lungs. 3  Medicine/Medical. a tubelike device used to maintain adequate, unobstructed respiration, as during general anesthesia.
Once the tube is in, it is secured, and it can be attached to a mechanical ventilator, anesthesia machine, or bag valve mask, also known as an ambu bag. An ambu bag can be manually manipulated to help the patient breathe. When a tube is threaded through the nose into the airway, it is called nasotracheal intubation. In both cases, a doctor carefully listens to the patient's breath sounds to ensure that the tube is in the trachea, and to make sure that air is being supplied to both lungs.
