Final answer:

Using a nasopharyngeal airway that is too long can block carotid blood flow.


Explanation:

Blocking carotid blood flow is a potential complication of using a nasopharyngeal airway that is too long. If the airway is inserted too deeply, it could compress the carotid artery against the vertebrae, leading to impaired blood flow to the brain.
