Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In the unconscious patients with no gag or laryngeal reflex, tracheal intubation can be performed without the use of drugs. Rapid sequence induction (RSI) of anaesthesia and intubation is a method to facilitate emergency tracheal intubation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Avoid using an oropharyngeal airway on a conscious patient with an intact gag reflex.
Detailed explanation-3: -Use an oropharyngeal airway only if the patient is unconscious or minimally responsive because it may stimulate gagging, which poses a risk of aspiration. Nasopharyngeal airways are preferred for obtunded patients with intact gag reflexes.
