Nasopharyngeal Airway

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

Frankly, I struggled to choose an article. I looked for something that I knew quite a lot about that didn't have much Information in the article. I chose Nasopharyngeal Airways because I am an EMT and I deal with these apparatus' quite often. My initial impression was that there were places where I felt more information could be added for someone who has no idea what this device is.

Content I felt like the context was lacking a little bit. For someone who doesn't know what the device is, they're most likely going to come here to learn about it. I added that it was not something you stick into your nose and can breathe. It extends into your posterior pharynx which is your upper airway and that is why it is a device that aids with breathing. I also added a detail that I felt was very important and that is contraindications. Although the article already had a section labeled contraindications, the writers failed to list any. Properly using a device like this can be the difference between life and death. I listed several instances where you absolutely should not use an NPA device. I also cited where the information could be read more in depth.

Tone and balance wasn't necessarily an issue considering there isn't really any side to pick. Its simply describing a device. The tone is very neutral and informative.

Sources and References The sources and references were excellent. They even included a textbook that I am familiar with written by many emergency care professionals like doctors, paramedics and emts.

Images and Media I do feel like a picture displaying the different sizes of NPAs can be put up but I do not own any rights to a picture like that and do not want to face copyright infringement

Talk Page Discussions There were no discussions on this article in the talk page although I did notify whomever it concerns that I would like to change some sentences adding more detail and why.

Overall Impressions I do feel like it could be improved a little more with more research and I could most likely get longer. I don't think much more needs to be added. Minor additions would make this a very informative article. The article could be more detailed in regards to NPA here and there and limit the information regarding other airway adjuncts such as OPAs.
