Issues of critical airway management (Which anesthesia; which surgical airway?)

Airway management and supraglottic devices: which solution for which problem?

Since 1983, when Brain published his first preliminary report on the use of the laryngeal mask airway (LMA), supraglottic airway devices have become increasingly popular. They have been evaluated for both surgery and emergency airway management. In some institutions, they have replaced the use of endotracheal intubation for a large variety of procedures. This was a revolution because it was a n...

Management of the difficult Airway

The appropriate airway management is the important point during the anesthesia. For it dose, ‎taking history, physical examination (head and neck, mandible, mouth opening, neck ‎movements …) must be done completely and they are helpful in estimating difficult ‎intubation.‎ It is necessary to note that one case from every ‎‏5000‏‎ cases of anesthesia, not o...

Airway management in critical illness.

Airway management in the ICU can be complicated due to many factors including the limited physiologic reserve of the patient. As a consequence, the likelihood of difficult mask ventilation and intubation increases. The incidence of failed airways and of cardiac arrest related to airway instrumentation in the ICU is much higher than that of elective intubations performed in the operating room. A...
