A respiratory mask for a person, comprising: a substantially oval and bowed, intraoral mouthpiece comprising a sheet of material having an inner surface, an outer surface, a top portion, a bottom portion, an upper edge, and a lower edge, the mouthpiece extending between a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge, the mouthpiece defining a central orifice through an approximate center of the first and second lateral edges, a separable intraoral oropharyngeal airway; and a tubular extension having a proximal end, a distal end, and a conduit, wherein the conduit of the tubular extension at the proximal end of the tubular extension feeds into the central orifice of the mouthpiece, the proximal end of the tubular extension terminating inside the central orifice of the mouthpiece, thereby preventing the proximal end from extending beyond the inner surface of the sheet of material and beyond the person's front teeth; wherein the mouthpiece is configured to fit between the person's gums and lips, extends upward and downward substantially parallel to the gums and teeth of the person, and extends posteriorly in the person's mouth, characterized in that a reinforced collar surrounding a portion of said tubular extension; said inner surface comprises a recess indented towards said proximal end of said tubular extension, said central orifice opens into said recess; and wherein a proximal end of said separable intraoral oropharyngeal airway for coupling the tubular extension into the mouth of the person includes a flange, wherein said recess is adapted to receive said flange, thereby preventing the flange of the airway from extending beyond the person's front teeth. a substantially oval and bowed, intraoral mouthpiece comprising a sheet of material having an inner surface, an outer surface, a top portion, a bottom portion, an upper edge, and a lower edge, the mouthpiece extending between a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge, the mouthpiece defining a central orifice through an approximate center of the first and second lateral edges, a separable intraoral oropharyngeal airway; and a tubular extension having a proximal end, a distal end, and a conduit, wherein the conduit of the tubular extension at the proximal end of the tubular extension feeds into the central orifice of the mouthpiece, the proximal end of the tubular extension terminating inside the central orifice of the mouthpiece, thereby preventing the proximal end from extending beyond the inner surface of the sheet of material and beyond the person's front teeth; wherein the mouthpiece is configured to fit between the person's gums and lips, extends upward and downward substantially parallel to the gums and teeth of the person, and extends posteriorly in the person's mouth, characterized in that a reinforced collar surrounding a portion of said tubular extension; said inner surface comprises a recess indented towards said proximal end of said tubular extension, said central orifice opens into said recess; and wherein a proximal end of said separable intraoral oropharyngeal airway for coupling the tubular extension into the mouth of the person includes a flange, wherein said recess is adapted to receive said flange, thereby preventing the flange of the airway from extending beyond the person's front teeth.
