  1. Позиција пацијента: Place the patient in a supine position with the head tilted back (unless contraindicated).
  2. Open Mouth: Gently open the patient's mouth.

    • Insert the airway with the curve pointing upwards (towards the hard palate).
    • Advance the airway until the tip reaches the soft palate.
    • Rotate the airway 180 degrees as it passes the uvula, so the curve points downwards, guiding the tip into the oropharynx.
    • Alternatively, use a tongue depressor to hold the tongue down and forward, then insert the airway with the curve already pointing downwards.
  4. Confirm Placement: Ensure the flange rests against the patient's lips and the airway is maintaining patency. Verify adequate ventilation.
