Nasopharyngeal Airway Placement 1. BSI 2. Select appropriate size. Measure NPA from nare to earlobe. 3. Lubricate the NPA. 4. Place the patient in a sniffing position. (consider c-spine precautions in a trauma patient) 5. Insert into the nostril with the bevel toward the septum, allowing the NPA to rotate as needed. 6. Advance the NPA until the flange rests against the nostril. **Never force the NPA into place. If the NPA will not advance, pull it out, and try the other nostril.

different types of airway management devices, which are used to ensure or maintain a clear airway in unconscious or semi-conscious patients. 1. Guedel – Oropharyngeal Airway • Use: For unconscious patients at risk of airway obstruction due to the tongue falling back. • Function: Keeps the airway open by preventing the tongue from covering the epiglottis. • Note: Not suitable for conscious patients due to gag reflex stimulation. ⸻ 2. Nasopharyngeal Airway • Use: For conscious patients…
