Place the patient in a semi-Fowler's position.Hold the oral airway with the curved end up and insert the distal end until the airway reaches the back of the throat; then turn the airway over 180 degrees and follow the natural curve of the tongue.Option: Hold the airway sideways and insert halfway; rotate the airway 90 degrees while gliding it over the natural curvature of the tongue.Make sure the outer flange is just outside the patient's lips.
