Nasopharyngeal Airway, also known as an NPA, nasal trumpet (because of its flared end), nose hose or lubey tubey, is a type of airway adjunct, is a tube that is designed to be inserted into the nasal passageway to secure an open airway. When a patient becomes unconscious, the muscles in the jaw commonly relax and can allow the tongue to slide back and obstruct the airway. This makes airway management necessary, and an NPA is one of the available tools. The purpose of the flared end is to prevent the device from becoming lost inside the patient’s nose.

 

Features

  • An oxygen mask or bag mask ventilation can be applied over the top if needed
  • Prevents tongue covering epiglottis in patients with reduced GCS.
  • Tolerated better than oropharyngeal airways in more alert patients.
  • Average height females require a size 6 NPA and average height males a size 7 NPA (Portex sizing)
  • Sizing using the patient’s finger as a guide is no longer recommended.
