ASSESSMENT OF A NEW NASOPHARYNGEAL AIRWAY

A new design of nasopharyngeal airway, which incorporates an introducer, was compared with a standard red rubber airway. The new airway was more frequently of the correct length, but the incidence of bleeding (12.5%) was not significantly different from that with the red rubber airway (27.5%).
