C
An oral airway is used to maintain the tongue away from the posterior oropharynx in the unconscious patient. A tracheostomy is inserted via a surgical procedure by creating an opening in the trachea below the cricoid cartilage and inserting a semirigid plastic tube. Endotracheal tubes bypass the upper airway structures.
