Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements is true of the oropharyngeal airway?

It is inserted through the nose to reach the trachea.

It is primarily used to deliver oxygen directly into the lungs.

It is only used in conscious patients with an intact gag reflex.

It is used to keep the airway open by preventing the tongue from covering the epiglottis.

Verified step by step guidance

Understand the function of the oropharyngeal airway: It is a medical device used to maintain an open airway by preventing the tongue from obstructing the epiglottis, which could block airflow to the trachea.

Clarify the insertion method: The oropharyngeal airway is inserted through the mouth, not the nose, making the first statement incorrect.

Evaluate its primary use: The device does not deliver oxygen directly into the lungs; instead, it ensures the airway remains unobstructed for effective ventilation, ruling out the second statement.

Consider patient suitability: The oropharyngeal airway is only used in unconscious patients without a gag reflex, as inserting it in conscious patients could trigger gagging or vomiting, making the third statement incorrect.

Confirm the correct statement: The oropharyngeal airway is indeed used to keep the airway open by preventing the tongue from covering the epiglottis, which aligns with the fourth statement.
