Nasopharyngeal Airway
2025-02-26 00:45:04| Spiritual Career Counseling
Continuing Education ActivityA nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) device or "nasal trumpet" is a hollow plastic or soft rubber tube that can improve oxygenation and ventilation in cases where bag-valve-mask ventilation is ineffective.

NPAs are also helpful when a patient's mouth is difficult to open or access, as in cases of trismus or angioedema.NPAs are simply ventilation and oxygenation adjuncts. They are often used only as a temporizing measure before obtaining a more secure airway via intubation or until the patient can breathe independently. Nevertheless,NPAs are valuable tools for quickly establishing and maintaining a patent airway, especially during emergencies.This activity for healthcare workers is desig...
