| Abstract: | The oropharyngeal airway (OPA) has been a remarkably safe device since its invention by Guedel in 1933. This plastic device is easily placed in the mouth and used for aiding in mask ventilation. We report a case of the aspiration of an OPA causing near total upper airway obstruction. |
