Abstract: An adjustable laryngeal airway or airflow control apparatus and method to control air flow into and out of the body including a tube having an inner surface and an outer surface including a threaded portion. The adjustable laryngeal airway (ALA) includes at least one arm having a first portion and a second portion wherein the first portion is laterally spaced apart from the second portion. The arms include structure such as grooves, threads, or slots operable to connect with the threading on the outer surface of the tube. A mask is fitted around the outer surface of the tube to create a seal in the system. The tube engages the thread on the outer surface of the tube to allow the at least one arm to pivot about the first portion allowing the arms to rotate away from the tube.
