Active Airway Management: The sniff position is the "gold standard" for positioning patients for laryngoscopy, placement of laryngeal mask airways, and mask ventilating patients. Therefore, it is ideal to have the PopitzPillows stocked in:

  • Operating Rooms
  • Emergency Departments
  • Code or Crash Carts --- it should be standard with the airway instruments
  • Procedural Suites, such as Invasive Radiology, MRI or CAT Scan Units, Endoscopy Units, Surgicenters, medical office suites
  • Ambulances and Air-ambulances
  • Office based surgery locations
  • Any location where CPR/ACLS might be required!
  • Airlines and travel organizations, hotels, large businesses, convention centers, military organizations
  • Even mouth-to-mouth breathing

Passive Airway Management: The PopitzPillow is ideal for use in situations where the patient is too ill to maintain their airway or during procedural sedation, to aid the caregiver in maintaining an unobstructed airway. Similarly, it is invaluable during cases where regional anesthesia is being used. It affords the anesthesia personnel a comfortable patient with a patent airway. The PopitzPillows should be used by physicians and nurses everywhere where there might be a concern for patient safety and comfort. The PopitzPillows are also FDA approved for over the counter sales for mild Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Snoring. As they permit optimal airway patency for airway management, so do they for sleep disordered breathing.
