Nasotracheal and orotracheal tubes are inserted through the larynx to maintain an open airway, directly into the trachea. Pharyngeal airways (like nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal airways) do not pass through the larynx; they help keep the upper airway open. Tracheostomy tubes are inserted through a surgical opening in the neck into the trachea, bypassing the larynx.
