AB  - •  Nasopharyngeal  airways  provide  a  conduit  for  airflow  between  the  nares  and  the  pharynx.•  Nasopharyngeal  airways  prevent  mandibular  tissue  from  obstructing  the  posterior  pharynx.•  Nasopharyngeal  airways  may  be  used  in  conscious  patients  (unlike  oropharyngeal  airways).•  Nasopharyngeal  airways  may  be  used  in  children  with  impaired  consciousness  or  in  neurologically  impaired  patients  with  poor  pharyngeal  tone  leading  to  upper  airway  obstruction.•  Nasopharyngeal  airways  can  be  used  to  suction  secretions.
