In the U.S. and in most emergency settings, you'll often hear people say, “Grab a nasal trumpet.” That's the everyday, boots-on-the-ground term used by nurses, combat medics, and anesthesia providers when seconds count. The formal name—nasopharyngeal airway (NPA)—shows up in textbooks, packaging, and hospital paperwork. Even military training manuals write “NPA,” but instructors usually add: “That's your nasal trumpet.” Knowing the right term is one thing, but knowing why and when to use it is what really matters. Simply put, if the airway is closing and you need to buy time, the nasal trumpet keeps the passage open so air can move. Today, BEVER Medical shares practical tips for safe placement.    Key Takeaways for Nasal Trumpet Placement Go straight back, not up. Follow the natural line of the nasal passage, parallel to the floor. Size matters. Measure from the nose tip to the earlobe/angle of jaw to get the right length. Always lube it. Skipping lubrication causes bleeding and pain. Don't force it. If resistance is met, try the other nostril or a smaller size. Use when the oral airway fails. Works well in trauma, semi-conscious patients, or when the jaw is tight.  Purpose and Indications The NPA is designed to bypass obstructions at the nose, nasopharynx, or base of the tongue. It prevents the tongue from collapsing against the back wall of the throat and shutting off airflow. That means oxygen still gets in even if the mouth is clamped shut, the jaw is tight, or facial trauma makes oral access tough. Situations where the nasal trumpet shines include: Trauma patients with decreased consciousness but an intact gag reflex. Obstructive sleep apnea or upper airway collapse. Post-surgery or anesthesia recovery, when the tongue tends to fall back. Tactical or field medicine, where a quick airway fix is needed without advanced gear. It's usable across the board—from infants to adults—if sized correctly.   Why the Nasal Trumpet Matters We're sure real cases will convince you just how important NPAs are.  On the Battlefield A soldier with a blast injury is semi-conscious, jaw locked, and bleeding. An oral airway isn't an option. The medic pulls out a nasopharyngeal airway, slides it straight back into the nostril, and within seconds, the airway is open and the casualty is breathing. In the Ambulance A car crash victim is groaning but won't tolerate an oral airway. His tongue keeps blocking his throat. The EMT quickly measures a nasopharyngeal airway, lubricates it, and slides it in. Breath sounds return, chest rise is visible, and oxygen delivery stabilizes. Wilderness Rescue A hiker collapses from heatstroke, barely responsive. No advanced airway gear is around. A rescuer with a basic kit uses an NPA to keep the airway open during evacuation. The simple tube keeps him alive until higher care is reached.   Nasal Trumpet: Step-by-Step Insertion Safely The right size and safe nasopharyngeal airway are important. They are often made of PVC or silicone. Pro tip: Measure from the tip of the nose to the earlobe or to the angle of the jaw. That length usually sets the tip just in front of the glottis, the sweet spot where air can pass freely.   Select and Lubricate Take a PVC nasopharyngeal airway as an example:  Pick the right size NPA. Coat the tube generously with sterile or water-based lubricant. Skipping lube increases the risk of bleeding and makes insertion painful. Know the Angle The most common mistake is trying to push it upward toward the forehead. Don’t do that. The nasal trumpet goes straight back, parallel to the floor of the nose. Think about the path a nasogastric tube takes—not up into the skull, but back toward the throat. Insertion Slide the lubricated tube gently into one nostril. Advance it straight back. If you meet strong resistance, don’t force it—pull out, switch nostrils, or try a smaller size. Keep going until the flange rests against the nostril. At this point, the distal tip should sit just above the glottis. Keep an Eye on your patient Look for chest rise. Listen for breath sounds or feel airflow. If available, check capnography. A comfortable patient without gagging or coughing usually means good placement. Common Mistakes to Avoid Wrong angle: Don't aim upward—go straight back. Forcing it: Never push past resistance. You'll cause trauma or bleeding. Wrong size: Too short won't stent the airway; too long can irritate or obstruct. Skipping lubrication: Dry insertion = pain + nasal injury. Special Considerations Not every patient is a candidate for a nasopharyngeal airway: Avoid in suspected basilar skull fractures or severe nasal trauma. Watch for nasal deformities, polyps, or surgical splints. In some advanced field situations, medics may place NPAs in both nostrils (“double barrel”) to maximize airflow, but that's more specialized. Final Thoughts Mastering this skill can be the difference. After inserting a nasopharyngeal airway correctly, it keeps the upper airway open and lets air flow when the tongue or tissues block breathing. The key is to size it right, lube it well, and slide it straight back—not up. If you're learning or brushing up, watching a demo video is a game-changer. Seeing the angle and motion in real time makes the steps second nature. Ready to practice or stock your kit?

When someone can't breathe—whether it's out in the field, during a rescue, or in the ER—you don't always have time to wait. A nasopharyngeal airway (NPA), sometimes named a nasopharyngeal trumpet, can keep the airway open fast. And if you can't get a tube in right away, the jaw thrust is a simple move that can save a life. This guide shows how to use both safely, with tips from real situations to help you get it right when it really counts.   Nasopharyngeal Airway Selection and Insertion When someone can't breathe well but still has a gag reflex—or they just can't handle something in their mouth—an NPA (nasopharyngeal airway) can be a lifesaver. It's soft, flexible, and goes through the nose to keep the airway open without setting off the gag. Key Features from Bever Medical: Smooth, rounded tip that slides in easy Flared end with size marked right on it—no guessing Comes sterile, latex-free, and some packs include lube or a jelly packet Sizes from 14 to 38 French, one per pack, FDA and CE certified In the field, real-life situations show just how important a good NPA is. Take Sergeant-Medic Ramirez in Kandahar: she found a soldier with facial burns and a swollen tongue. The guy was barely conscious and struggling to breathe. Ramirez grabbed a 28 Fr NPA from her kit, tore open the jelly packet, lubed the tip, and slid it in—bevel side toward the septum. Within seconds, the soldier started breathing on his own. No gagging, no delay. Just quick action and the right tool. Studies show NPAs can really help. In one trial during sedation, the number of patients with low oxygen dropped from 13.5% to just 1.9%. And only 4.7% had minor nose injuries. How to Use It (Step-by-Step) Pick the right size—nostril to earlobe is a good guide Add lube if it's not pre-lubed Slide it in gently, bevel toward the septum Stop when the flange touches the nose Check for breath sounds and chest rise Don't Use If: There's major facial trauma You think there's a skull fracture at the base How to Combine Jaw Thrust and NPA for Faster Airway Access Corporal Singh's patient lost consciousness during transport over rough terrain. A rapid jaw thrust converted silent obstruction into audible ventilations, buying time until landing. Efficacy and Comparison Studies show the jaw thrust works just as well as head tilt in most cases—and it's safer if there's a neck injury. In sedated patients, modified jaw thrust improved upper airway patency at the tongue base in 82% of cases, albeit with occasional arousal in 10%. Integrating NPA and Jaw Thrust Using both together works even better. First, do a jaw thrust to open the airway. Then slide in the NPA to keep it open. This lets the patient keep breathing or helps with suction. Keep an eye on their breathing and oxygen. Tip: Instead of guessing the size, try this: do a quick jaw thrust and see how far the jaw moves forward. That can help you pick the right NPA length and avoid hurting soft tissue. Product Selection Tips for B2B Buyers Opt for sterile, individually packaged NPAs with rounded tips and clear ID markings. For rapid deployment, choose pre-lubricated kits (one NPA + jelly) sized 14 Fr–38 Fr. Ensure OEM flexibility for co-branding in IFAKs and compliance with FDA 510(k) and CE. Train staff with hands-on drills using both unlubricated and pre-lubricated NPAs alongside jaw thrust practice.

When it comes to treating strokes or heart attacks with clot-busting therapy, every second counts. But in elderly patients, there's another critical factor that often goes overlooked: airway safety. Older patients are often frail, less responsive, and more prone to airway obstruction, especially when lying flat or under sedation. Vomiting, weakened gag reflex, or reduced muscle tone can all increase the risk of compromised breathing. And in emergency scenarios, even a minor delay in managing the airway can lead to catastrophic outcomes. This is where nasopharyngeal airways (NPAs) come into play. Simple, fast, and effective, NPAs help maintain a clear passage for oxygenation—without requiring aggressive intervention. For hospitals, EMS crews, and military medics operating under pressure, FDA- and CE-certified OEM NPAs from Bever Medical offer the quality, consistency, and reliability needed to protect the airway while the team focuses on saving lives. In this blog, we'll break down why airway risks are higher in elderly thrombolytic patients, how to identify early signs of obstruction, and how NPAs can help mitigate the danger—safely and efficiently.  Airway Challenges in Elderly Thrombolysis Thrombolytic agents such as alteplase (rtPA) carry a 1–5% risk of orolingual angioedema in acute ischemic stroke patients. In the elderly—often on ACE inhibitors—the risk climbs toward the upper end, with swelling of lips, tongue, and oropharynx compromising patency within 30–150 minutes of infusion. A typical case: an 84-year-old woman on lisinopril developed severe tongue edema 30 minutes after rtPA, necessitating emergent intubation. A stroke itself impairs central control of breathing and cough reflexes. Cognitive decline and pre-existing neurological deficits heighten aspiration and obstruction risks during and after fibrinolysis. In one series, elderly stroke patients had threefold higher intubation rates when airway adjuncts were delayed. Anatomical Considerations for NPAs in the Elderly Nasal mucosa thins with age, and microvascular fragility increases the risk of bleeding, especially when patients are on anticoagulants or thrombolytic therapy. Conditions like septal deviation, turbinate hypertrophy, or past nasal trauma can further narrow the nasal passages. A well-designed nasal trumpet helps address these challenges: its rounded, beveled tip allows for atraumatic insertion, while the soft, tapering shaft conforms to nasal anatomy, minimizing pressure on sensitive mucosa. Size markings on the flange aid in selecting the correct size—especially important as nostril diameter can vary with age. Thrombolytics, Fragile Nasal Mucosa, and Bleeding Risk When we think about thrombolytic therapy, bleeding risks are often top of mind — especially in older patients. But one often overlooked area is the airway, particularly the nose. Thrombolytics don't just increase bleeding risks in obvious places like the GI tract or brain. They also raise the chances of small, persistent bleeds in more delicate areas — like the nasal mucosa. In elderly patients, the nasal lining tends to be thinner and more fragile. Combine that with age-related changes in blood vessels and the systemic effects of thrombolytics, and you've got a recipe for trouble. In fact, research shows that with each passing year, elderly patients face up to four times the bleeding risk during thrombolytic treatment. While major nosebleeds (epistaxis) are rare, even minor ones can block the nasal airway — which is a big deal if you're relying on a nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) to maintain ventilation. While NPAs can still be used when necessary, the choice and handling of the device becomes especially important in elderly patients to minimize complications. How NPAs Mitigate Hidden Risks Maintaining a patent airway despite angioedema onset. If tongue swelling precludes oropharyngeal adjuncts, the NPA preserves a channel. Avoiding intubation complications. In stroke patients, NPAs reduced intubation rates from 40.3% to 19.2% versus oropharyngeal devices (P < 0.05). Reducing pulmonary infections. Less invasive than repeated intubation, NPAs cut post-stroke pneumonia from 24.7% to 14.1% (P < 0.05).

A nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) provides a less invasive alternative to endotracheal intubation. It is commonly used in emergencies to maintain a patient's airway patency, particularly in managing unconscious patients with intact gag reflexes. However, the NPA insertion operation looks easy; it may cause catastrophic risks. The most serious potential complication is intracranial placement through the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone, which can result in direct brain injury, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, and even death. Reading now to learn how to minimize risks. Potential Complications of NPA Insertion Before the most severe complication, it's important to get to know the range of potential adverse events that can occur during NPA insertion.   Common but Relatively Minor Complications Nasal mucosal trauma and epistaxis represent the most frequent complications. The nasal cavity's rich vascular supply makes bleeding almost inevitable during insertion, though this is usually minor and self-limiting. Healthcare providers should be prepared to manage nosebleeds and monitor for aspiration risk, especially when using nasal trumpets in prehospital or emergency care settings. Pressure necrosis of nasal tissues can develop with prolonged placement. Extended use of improperly sized NPAs may cause compression injury to the nasal alae or nasal septum, leading to tissue breakdown and ulceration. This complication emphasizes the importance of proper sizing and regular assessment. Inadvertent placement into the wrong anatomical spaces occurs when the NPA is inserted too deeply or at incorrect angles. The device may enter the soft tissues of the nasopharynx rather than following the intended pathway, potentially causing local trauma and reducing effectiveness. Gag reflex stimulation and aspiration can occur if the NPA is too long or stimulates the posterior pharynx. This may trigger vomiting, laryngospasm, or aspiration pneumonia, particularly in patients with diminished protective reflexes. Read: Complications of a  nasopharyngeal airway too long (blog) The Most Serious Complication: Intracranial Placement Anatomical Basis and Mechanism The cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone forms a thin, perforated barrier between the nasal cavity and the anterior cranial fossa. This sieve-like structure, naturally weakened by multiple foramina for olfactory nerve passage, represents the most vulnerable point for NPA misplacement. When basilar skull fractures or congenital anomalies compromise this structure, the risk of intracranial penetration increases dramatically. Intracranial placement occurs when the NPA accidentally penetrates the cribriform plate and enters the cranial vault. This catastrophic event typically results from several factors: forceful insertion, incorrect insertion angle (directed cephalad rather than posteriorly), or insertion in patients with unrecognized basilar skull fractures. These risks are especially relevant for field applications involving the nasopharyngeal airway army, where rapid airway access is often critical, but anatomical assessment may be limited. Devastating Consequences The consequences of intracranial NPA placement are severe and potentially fatal: Direct brain tissue injury occurs when the NPA tip penetrates the cerebral cortex, causing immediate neurological damage. This mechanical injury destroys brain tissue and can result in permanent neurological deficits or death. Cerebrospinal fluid leak develops when the dura mater is breached, leading to CSF rhinorrhea. This creates a direct communication between the sterile intracranial space and the contaminated nasal cavity, significantly increasing infection risk. Intracranial hemorrhage may result from vascular injury during NPA insertion. Blood accumulation within the confined cranial space can cause dangerous increases in intracranial pressure, leading to brain herniation and death. Meningitis and brain abscesses represent serious infectious complications. The breach in normal anatomical barriers allows bacterial invasion of the central nervous system, potentially causing life-threatening infections. Risk Factors and Prevention High-Risk Patient Populations Patients with basilar skull fractures represent the highest risk group. Clinical signs include Battle's sign (mastoid bruising), raccoon eyes (periorbital ecchymosis), CSF otorrhea or rhinorrhea, and hemotympanum. These findings indicate potential cribriform plate disruption and absolute contraindication to NPA use. Pediatric patients face increased risk due to thinner, more fragile skull structures. The cribriform plate in children is particularly vulnerable to injury, making careful assessment essential before NPA insertion. Patients with facial trauma or suspected midface fractures require careful evaluation. Severe craniofacial injuries may involve basilar skull fractures that are not immediately apparent, increasing the risk of intracranial placement. Prevention Strategies Healthcare providers must carefully evaluate for signs of basilar skull fracture, including neurological examination and assessment of facial trauma patterns. When in doubt, alternative airway management techniques should be employed. Proper insertion technique significantly reduces complication risk. The NPA should be well-lubricated and inserted gently along the nasal floor, directed posteriorly toward the occiput rather than the cephalad.  Comprehensive Guide on How to Insert NPA? Providers should never force insertion against resistance. Appropriate sizing ensures safe placement. The NPA should be measured from the nostril to the earlobe, with the internal diameter corresponding to the patient's nostril size without causing blanching of nasal tissues. Use of quality devices with proper design features enhances safety. Modern NPAs should feature rounded, beveled tips for atraumatic insertion, secure flanges to prevent over-insertion, and size markings for proper selection. Devices should be latex-free, sterile, and individually packaged. Management of Suspected Intracranial Placement When intracranial placement is suspected, immediate action is required to prevent further injury and complications. Cessation of insertion and careful stabilization of the NPA in its current position prevents additional trauma. The device should not be advanced further or removed without neurosurgical consultation, as removal may cause additional injury or worsen hemorrhage. Immediate imaging with CT scanning confirms the NPA position and assesses for associated injuries. Imaging helps determine the extent of intracranial penetration and guides treatment decisions. Urgent neurosurgical consultation is mandatory. Neurosurgeons must evaluate the need for surgical removal, management of CSF leaks, and treatment of any associated brain injuries. The complexity of these cases requires specialist expertise. Supportive care includes monitoring for neurological changes, managing increased intracranial pressure, and preventing secondary complications. Patients require intensive monitoring in appropriate care settings. Conclusion While the nasopharyngeal airway is an essential device in emergency airway management, the most serious potential complication, intracranial placement, can result in permanent neurological injury or death. Though rare, it must always be considered. Healthcare providers must maintain a heightened awareness of this complication, particularly when managing patients with facial trauma or suspected basilar skull fractures.

In remote locations where medical support is miles—or hours—away, having the right tools can mean the difference between life and death. A nasopharyngeal airway kit is one of the most essential components in any well-stocked wilderness or tactical first aid pack. Designed to maintain an open airway in unconscious or semi-conscious patients, this simple yet effective device is a cornerstone of emergency airway management—especially when jaw trauma, clenched teeth, or limited access makes oral airways unfeasible.    But knowing how to use it is only half the equation. Choosing the right material and size for your nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) is just as critical. In this guide, we explore why the NPA kit is indispensable in field conditions and how to select the most suitable type for your needs.  Why Use a Nasopharyngeal Airway Kit in Field Emergencies?  When someone becomes unconscious—due to trauma, heat exhaustion, low oxygen, seizure, or cardiac arrest—their tongue may relax and block the airway. In such situations, quick insertion of an NPA can: Prevent airway obstruction Support spontaneous breathing Buy time until advanced help arrives Avoid unnecessary intubation attempts In outdoor settings where dust, dirt, and debris can complicate airway access, NPAs are favored for their ease of insertion and minimal need for head positioning. They are particularly valuable in environments where cervical spine injury is suspected, and head-tilt maneuvers must be avoided.  What's in a Nasopharyngeal Airway Kit?  A standard field-ready NPA kit typically includes: A soft, pre-lubricated or lubricated nasopharyngeal airway tube Sterile, water-soluble lubricant Optional: gloves and alcohol wipes Compact, sterile packaging that fits easily in an IFAK or field pouch Many kits come pre-lubricated or include a lubricant sachet, ensuring smooth insertion even under high-stress conditions. Choosing the Right Material: PVC vs. Silicone vs. Latex-Free There is no one-size-fits-all NPA, especially when considering comfort, flexibility, and environmental adaptability. Here's how to decide: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) Pros: Cost-effective, slightly firm for easier insertion Best for: Single-use, rugged environments where durability matters Caution: May become stiff in cold weather; check if latex-free if needed Silicone  Pros: Ultra-soft, biocompatible, maintains flexibility in cold temperatures Best for: Reusable settings, sensitive patients, cold weather or altitude use Caution: Typically more expensive Latex-Free NPAs  Pros: Safe for patients with latex allergies, compliant with hospital and military standards Best for: Broad use without allergy risk Caution: Check materials if not explicitly marked as latex-free  For field kits used in cold climates or tactical operations, silicone NPAs offer better flexibility and reduced patient discomfort. For mass-distribution or civilian IFAKs, PVC versions are a practical and economical choice. Choosing the Right Size Selecting the correct NPA size is essential for both efficacy and safety. Improper sizing may lead to inadequate ventilation or nasal trauma.   Sizing by Diameter Most NPAs are sized using internal diameter (ID) in millimeters, typically ranging from 6.0mm to 9.0mm for adults. 6.0mm – 6.5mm: Small adults or females 7.0mm – 7.5mm: Average adult males 8.0mm – 9.0mm: Larger adult males or tactical use Sizing by Length The tip should reach just above the epiglottis. A quick field method: Measure from nostril to earlobe. This gives a rough idea of appropriate length. Tip: Always carry multiple sizes in your kit. One size does not fit all, especially in variable environments. Field Application Tips  Apply lubricant generously unless pre-lubricated Insert the NPA with the bevel toward the nasal septum If resistance is met, try the other nostril Never force the airway—if blocked, reassess or use an oral alternative For untrained users, the NPA is easier and safer to use than oral airways or supraglottic devices. That's why it's favored in military, outdoor rescue, and pre-hospital care scenarios. Final Thoughts: A Must-Have for Every Field Medic or Adventurer  Whether you're a wilderness medic, military responder, search-and-rescue volunteer, or just an outdoor enthusiast preparing for emergencies, a nasopharyngeal airway kit is a lightweight yet lifesaving investment.
