I dont think you can use OPA when the patient is responsive or even semiconscious as it might cause vomiting or intiate the gag reflex. If the gag reflex is present, you’re not advised to do it.

Does the rolled back tongue get in the way when doing this? Would it be recommended to use a tongue depressor simultaneously, or does the OPA insertion naturally bypass the tongue?

why do we need to first invert the airway?

[hanahairudin]

Why do we have to invert at first? Sorry for asking

[jackyyao]

Can this assist the perceptived person to suck phlegm?

[bijaybehera]
