Intended use:

-          It is used to maintain an open airway, by inserting the tube into the nasal passageway. When a patient becomes unconscious, the muscles in the jaw commonly relax and can allow the tongue to slide back and obstruct the airway. The purpose of the flared end is to prevent the device from becoming lost inside the patient’s nose

-          It is used by emergency care professionals such as EMTs and paramedics in situations where an artificial form of airway maintenance is necessary but it is impossible or inadvisable to use an oropharyngeal airway, the preferred type of airway adjunct, or intubate, considered the most certain way to secure a patent airway, but the most medically invasive. In an unconscious patient, suction of the upper airways may also be applied via an nasopharyngeal tube

-          Insertion: The correct size airways is chosen by measuring the device on the patient: the device reach from the patient’s nostril to the earlobe or the angle of the jaw. The outside of the tube is lubricated with a water-based lubricant so that it enters the nose more easily. The tube is inserted until the flared end rests against the nostril.
