In my EMT class (about a year ago) we were taught to insert an OPA rotated 180 degrees, guide it in, and after feeling resistance, rotate it into correct orientation. I have heard that the guidelines recently changed and OPA has to be inserted at 90 degrees angle.
Who changed it? AHA, ARC? What were the reasons for changing it? Any changes on OPA insertion for pediatric patients?
