Which of the following is NOT a type of advanced airway?

The oropharyngeal airway is not classified as an advanced airway device. It is considered a basic airway management tool. The primary purpose of the oropharyngeal airway is to maintain or open the airway in an unconscious patient by preventing the tongue from obstructing the oropharynx.

In contrast, advanced airway devices, such as the laryngeal mask airway, supraglottic airway device, and endotracheal tube, are used to provide a more secure airway and facilitate ventilation in situations where basic measures are insufficient. These advanced devices require more training to use correctly and are designed for situations where patients may not have a protective airway reflex or when more precise control of ventilation is required.
