Opa+npa

I remember from back in the day when AED's were first brought to EMS services in my region, there was a specific AED protocol that had a special airway procedure with it.

Anytime we used the AED, we were to use two NPA's and an OPA. The rationale was to maximize airflow. I never understood this protocol than and still don't. It has since gone to the way side and is no longer used.

Are you serious? Is this a West Virginia joke or something?
