The preferred method for inserting an oropharyngeal airway in a small child is to:
A:insert the airway with the curvature towards the roof of the mouth and then rotate it 180 degrees.
B:insert the airway as you would in an adult, but use an airway that is one size smaller than you would normally use.
C:depress the tongue with a tongue blade and insert the airway with the downward curve facing the tongue.
D:open the airway with the tongue-jaw lift maneuver and insert the airway until you meet slight resistance.
