No, a nasopharyngeal airway should not be used in a patient with an endotracheal tube in place. The endotracheal tube already secures the airway and provides ventilation, making the use of a nasopharyngeal airway unnecessary and potentially harmful. Introducing a nasopharyngeal airway could cause trauma to the airway or displace the endotracheal tube.
The proper airway management technique is to first, sweep the mouth and check the airway for obstructions. Then position the person's head so that the airway is as open as possible to facilitate breathing.
