Airway edema potentiates airway reactivity
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1995Thickening of the airway wall has been hypothesized to be one of the mechanisms contributing to airway hyperresponsiveness in asthma. If such thickening of the wall is internal to the airway smooth muscle or otherwise causes a decrease in baseline airway caliber, it should also cause exaggerated airway responsiveness.

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 2001
Various airway pathologies may result in central airway obstruction. For patients who have benign and malignant disease, definitive surgical correction by tracheobronchial resection and reconstruction is preferred. Numerous patients, however, have unresectable airway lesions owing to the extent of disease or to medical or surgical contraindications ...

Laryngeal mask airway and the difficult airway
Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2004To present recent advances in the role of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) and its newer modifications in the management of difficult airway.The principles of management of a difficult airway remain the same, but the advent of the intubating LMA (ILMA) and Proseal LMA (PLMA) has provided a better choice in such situations.

In this article we will summarize the available information on airways that have been suggested to provide a conduit for the bronchoscope in its passage through the upper airway during fibreoptic intubation.The Williams Airway Intubator and the Berman Oropharyngeal Airway appear to be more likely to provide a conduit for the bronchoscope than the ...

Emergency Airway Management: the Difficult Airway
Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2012Patients requiring airway management in the emergency department present an enormous challenge. It requires not only a firm concept of techniques for securing the airway but also of dealing with the potential difficult airway (DA) in which establishing a definite airway is not possible with techniques routinely used.
