Abstract
The nasal pharyngeal tube lifts the lingual obstacle, improves hypercapnia and allows for a weight gain. In case of glossoptosis, hypercapnia may be ignored or underestimated. Normal oxygen saturation may be falsely reassuring while severe hypercapnia is occurring. Attentive care and parental involvement are needed.
