   This is in reply to the nasal airway in the mouth: I do use this and have seen it done. They are softer and it works with less irritation of the gag reflex. I have had one CRNA that does it and it works . "Is my surgery all done? Did it go OK?
   What time is it? Can I have a drink? Can I eat? "
   This is asked in a Q 5 min LOOP I wish I could play back my same answers on a loop.
