What Does OPA Stand For?

OPA stands for Oropharyngeal Airway

OPA, or Oropharyngeal Airway, is a medical device designed to maintain or secure an open airway in unresponsive patients who do not have a gag reflex. It is inserted into the mouth and extends into the oropharynx, preventing the tongue from obstructing the airway. OPA is commonly used in emergency settings and during anesthesia to facilitate effective ventilation and oxygenation.
