Sizing an NPA

Показать описание
Many question the utility of a nasal pharyngeal airway. A properly sized and placed NPA will put the tip close to the patient’s epiglottis. I have personally seen dual NPAs maintain an airway in a patient with progressive angio edema while prepping for intubation: it allowed for a controlled intubation, rather than a crash surgical airway.

A short explanation of why the two are FR 28s but different would be helpful :)
