It extends past the tongue and soft palate, keeping the airway patent by displacing the tongue and soft tissues that can block air flow. Unlike an oropharyngeal airway (which goes through the mouth), an NPA is placed nasally and \u003cem\u003egenerally does not trigger the gag reflex\u003c\/em\u003e. This makes it useful for patients who are semi-conscious or have a strong gag reflex. In practice, a nasopharyngeal airway is used as a short-term adjunct to improve ventilation – for example, when bag-valve-mask ventilation alone is ineffective or when intubation is being prepared. It is a common emergency and anesthesia tool to “bypass” upper airway obstruction in a breathing patient until a more definitive airway (like endotracheal intubation) can be secured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIndications (When and why it’s used)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNasopharyngeal airways are indicated in patients who need help keeping their airway open but cannot tolerate an oropharyngeal airway.

When used correctly and sized\/lubricated properly, it helps bypass upper airway obstruction by the tongue, improving ventilation in semi-conscious patients. Clinicians must select the correct length (usually measured from nostril to earlobe or angle of the jaw) and use water-based lubricant.

It is a flexible hollow tube inserted through the nose into the oropharynx to prevent obstruction of the airway. The adjustable flange on the tube allows for a more secure and comfortable fit in the nostrils. The 28 French measurement refers to the size of the tube, with larger numbers indicating a larger diameter. The tube is designed to be used by medical professionals for patients who are unable to maintain their own airway due to unconsciousness, trauma, or other medical conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA nasopharyngeal airway tube with an adjustable flange is a medical device used to help provide and maintain an open airway in patients who are unable to breathe adequately on their own. It is inserted through the nose and extends into the back of the throat, known as the nasopharynx.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tube is made of soft and flexible material, usually silicone, and comes in various sizes to fit different patients. It has a flange, or a wider portion at the end, which sits in the nostril to prevent the tube from slipping out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo use the tube, the healthcare provider will first assess the appropriate size needed and gently insert it through the nostril until the flange rests comfortably in the nose. The provider may also use lubricating gel to make the insertion smoother.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tube has two main functions: to keep the airway open and to allow for the passage of oxygen. The flexible design of the tube allows it to bypass any obstructions in the nose or throat, such as swollen nasal passages or a deviated septum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce in place, the tube creates a direct path for air to travel from the nose to the nasopharynx and into the lungs. This is especially helpful for patients who have trouble breathing through their nose or mouth, such as those who have had facial or jaw injuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adjustable flange of the tube allows the healthcare provider to adjust its position to better fit the patient’s anatomy. This helps to ensure a secure and comfortable fit, as well as reduce irritation to the nasal passages. The flange also prevents the tube from being inserted too far, which can cause injury to the throat or damage to the nasal mucosa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to providing an open airway, the tube also allows for the delivery of oxygen, aerosol medications, or suctioning of secretions. It can also be used during surgeries or procedures when a patient is under general anesthesia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter use, the tube should be removed gently and discarded according to proper medical waste disposal protocols. It is important to regularly monitor the patient’s vital signs and level of comfort while the tube is in place to ensure proper functioning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rusch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40366686961736,"sku":"18520028","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/0350\/files\/Rusch-Nasopharyngeal-Airway-Tube-28-French-18520028.jpg?v=1734024721"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/0350\/collections\/McKesson-Nasopharyngeal-Airway-Tubes-Robertazzi-Style.jpg?v=1763598693","url":"https:\/\/www.mountainside-medical.com\/collections\/nasopharyngeal.oembed?constraint=robertazzi","provider":"Mountainside Medical","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
