Part of supraglottic airway classification is referring to its generation. This slide demonstrates some of the key differences between first and second generation supraglottic airways. Currently, our guest is working on seeing how much airway contaminant can overwhelm these airway devices and lead to aspiration. One individual from Twitter asked questions specifically regarding the differences between first and second generation supraglottic airways and how it plays a role in such an issue. In his most recent study, with 100ml every second for a total of 300ml, Jim DuCanto tried to figure out how much contaminant went into the lungs. He did 10 "runs" with each device tested. With most devices, they are not designed to handle large volumes of fluid but rather small amounts.
There are two videos on Vimeo with one being from 2015 and the other from 2016 regarding how to set up your own vomiting manikin.
