One of the biggest reasons to establish an oral-pharyngeal airway is if there is risk of losing a patent airway. For example, if the throat might swell from injury/trauma or allergic reaction. Another example: To protect heart and brain when the airway might close off completely, such as in severe respiratory distress like a severe Asthma attack.
