Airway

Airway

Airway management supplies for tactical, military, and EMS providers following the MARCH protocol. This collection includes nasopharyngeal airways, surgical cricothyrotomy kits, bag-valve masks, suction devices, and endotracheal tube kits from North American Rescue, Tactical Medical Solutions, and Curaplex. Every product is sourced from authorized manufacturers and ships from our USA-based HQ.

MARCH Protocol: Airway Management

The 'A' in MARCH addresses airway patency. In tactical and prehospital trauma care, airway compromise is a leading cause of preventable death. This collection provides the tools for the full spectrum of airway intervention — from basic NPA insertion to surgical cricothyrotomy — aligned with CoTCCC and C-TECC guidelines. Browse Airway Management Kits & Supplies for complete kits and individual components.

Airway Management Selection Guide

The A in MARCH addresses airway patency -- a leading cause of preventable death in tactical and prehospital trauma. Shop by intervention level: basic adjuncts (NPA/OPA), surgical and advanced airway (cricothyrotomy, laryngoscopy, supraglottic), or ventilation and oxygenation (BVM, ventilators, O2).

Airway Intervention: Three Levels of Escalation

Airway management follows a progressive escalation -- from simple adjuncts to surgical intervention to mechanical ventilation. The right tool depends on the casualty's condition, the tactical environment, and the provider's scope of practice. Aligned with CoTCCC and C-TECC guidelines.

Basic Adjuncts Level 1

Nasopharyngeal airways (NPA) and oropharyngeal airways (OPA) are the first-line airway interventions. NPAs are inserted through the nose into the posterior pharynx to maintain airway patency in responsive or semi-responsive casualties. OPAs prevent tongue displacement in unresponsive patients. Both are low-risk, rapidly deployable, and require minimal training.

  • NPA: indicated for responsive patients with intact gag reflex
  • OPA: for unresponsive patients without gag reflex
  • Available in multiple French sizes (22-36 Fr)
  • Pre-lubricated options for rapid insertion
Surgical & Advanced Level 2

When basic adjuncts fail and the airway cannot be maintained, surgical cricothyrotomy is the definitive airway. Cric kits provide the scalpel, bougie, and ET tube in a single package. Supraglottic airways (i-gel, King LTS-D) offer a middle ground -- less invasive than surgical airway but more secure than an NPA. Laryngoscopes support direct visualized intubation when conditions allow.

  • Cricothyrotomy kits: scalpel-bougie technique in one package
  • Supraglottic: i-gel and King LTS-D for rapid blind insertion
  • Laryngoscopes: direct and video-assisted intubation
  • Requires advanced training and credentialing
Ventilation & O2 Level 3

Once the airway is secured, ventilation and oxygenation sustain the casualty. Bag valve masks (BVM) provide manual ventilation -- compact Pocket BVMs save IFAK space. Automated ventilators (SAVe II+) deliver consistent tidal volumes hands-free. Oxygen systems and suction devices complete the ventilation circuit for prolonged field care and transport.

  • BVMs: manual ventilation, available in compact Pocket BVM format
  • Automated ventilators: hands-free consistent tidal volume delivery
  • Oxygen: cylinders, regulators, concentrators, and delivery masks
  • Suction: tactical suction devices for airway clearance
Airway Decision Framework: Assess, Intervene, Escalate
1

Assess patency. Check for airway obstruction, foreign bodies, facial trauma, and burns. If the patient is conscious and talking, the airway is patent. If unconscious, assess for tongue obstruction and gag reflex.

2

Intervene at the lowest effective level. Start with repositioning and NPA insertion. If the airway cannot be maintained, escalate to supraglottic or surgical cricothyrotomy based on training and tactical conditions.

3

Ventilate and monitor. Once the airway is secured, provide ventilation with a BVM or automated ventilator. Monitor oxygenation and be prepared to move to the next MARCH priority.

Airway management follows a progressive escalation from basic adjuncts to surgical intervention to mechanical ventilation. Always intervene at the lowest effective level and escalate based on the casualty's condition, the tactical environment, and your scope of practice. Naloxone is listed here for its role in airway and respiratory compromise reversal. FDA and CE compliant where applicable per manufacturer specifications.

Why MED-TAC's Evidence-Based Approach Outperforms Single-Vendor Kits

Independent Testing, Not Marketing Claims

Each component is selected based on published clinical studies, field performance data, and professional user feedback -- not manufacturer marketing. We evaluate the entire equipment ecosystem, including the 90% of effective gear often missed by limited single-vendor review scopes.

Multi-Brand Curation Over Compromise

Single vendors excel in one category but underperform in others. We select the best tourniquet from one brand, the superior hemostatic from another, the top chest seal from a third -- optimizing kit performance over vendor politics. Result: 13% higher effectiveness vs. single-vendor averages.

Professionally Validated & Compliance Ready

Components align with Stop the Bleed, C-TECC, and MARCH protocols. Government procurement documentation, competitive bidding support, and GSA schedule compatibility available. Component traceability and assembly quality control on every kit.
