Airway management: the difficult airway
Trauma, 2000Maintenance of a patent airway to allow ventilation with high concentration oxygen is an essential procedure during the resuscitation of all trauma patients. A range of equipment is available to help achieve and maintain a clear airway, with endotracheal intubation remaining the gold standard.

Complications of managing the airway
Best Practice & Research Clinical Anaesthesiology, 2005The inability to secure the airway, with consequent failure of oxygenation and ventilation, is a life-threatening complication. Failure of oxygenation leads to hypoxia followed by brain damage, cardiovascular dysfunction, and finally death. Time is a very crucial factor in this context. Complications vary widely in severity; while some are dramatic and

DeckerMed Critical Care of the Surgical Patient, 2018
Endotracheal intubation is a commonly performed procedure in the intensive care unit (ICU). Active upper gastrointestinal bleeding, emesis in the airway, and the presence of a cervical collar are just a few examples of conditions encountered in critically ill patients that can make endotracheal intubation difficult. Furthermore, critically ill patients

Anatomy of the Airway/Airway Management
2017This chapter reviews upper airway anatomy and airway management. One of the most difficult aspects in clinical anesthesia is the consistent identification of patients in whom airways are likely to be challenging to secure. The act of securing the airway involves multiple steps, viz.: positioning, face mask ventilation, visualization of the vocal cords,

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2008
Helium-oxygen ("heliox") mixtures have been used for decades in the treatment of various respiratory problems ranging from acute upper airway obstructions to lower airway derangements, such as asthma and exacerbations of chronic bronchitis. This review presents a brief history of helium and helium-oxygen mixtures and their potential clinical uses ...

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.
