nasopharyngeal airway

A nasopharyngeal airway is a tube inserted through the nose into the throat to keep the airway open. It is used when someone cannot breathe well on their own due to unconsciousness, swelling, or obstruction. The device helps air flow easily into the lungs by preventing the tongue or tissues from blocking the airway. It's typically made of flexible, medical-grade material and is carefully measured to fit the person's nose and throat. This tool is often used by medical professionals to ensure safe breathing and can be inserted quickly in emergency situations.
