How do OP and NP airways help restore airway patency?

While attempting to insert an NP airway, you encounter an obstruction on the left side. The most appropriate action is to:

A patient has a size 6 Shiley trach with a non-disposable inner cannula. Which of the following equipment/supplies is NOT necessary for the trach care of this patient?

What is the best method to confirm ETT placement in the trachea after intubating a patient?

Which of the following modalities/procedures pose less risk for adverse outcomes with the patient in the correct position? Medication education Intubation Airway adjunct placement Suctioning Administering medication via nebulization

The major limitations of using a laryngeal mask airway are: Gastric distention may occur if ventilating pressures are greater than 20 cmH2O. It does not provide absolute protection against aspiration of gastric contents. It should not be used in conscious and semi-conscious patients.

What technique does the RT use to seal the mask to the patient’s face while delivering manual ventilations?
