Can you use a nasopharyngeal airway in a patient with an endotracheal tube?
No, a nasopharyngeal airway should not be used in a patient with an endotracheal tube in place. The endotracheal tube already secures the airway and provides ventilation, making the use of a nasopharyngeal airway unnecessary and potentially harmful. Introducing a nasopharyngeal airway could cause trauma to the airway or displace the endotracheal tube.

Why should the naopharyngeal airway not be used if there is evidence of clear fluid coming from the nose?
A nasopharyngeal airway should not be used if there is clear fluid coming from the nose because it may indicate a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, which can occur with skull base fractures. Inserting the airway could exacerbate the injury or introduce pathogens into the cranial cavity, leading to serious complications such as meningitis. Therefore, it's crucial to assess the patient's condition and consider alternative airway management strategies.

After measuring you decide that the nasopharyngeal airway is too long. What should you do?
