Objective
 Airway management in maxillofacial injuries is quite complex and involves many difficulties. The aim of this study to evaluate the knowledge level medical faculty students about airway injuries.
 Methods
 This cross-sectional was conducted on fifth sixth-grade Faculty Medicine, Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University. After literature review, a questionnaire prepared...

With the possible exception of spinal immobilisation, control of the airway is the first priority in the initial care of the trauma victim. Inability to oxygenate the brain is the fastest killer of the trauma victim. In all the trauma victims oxygen must be administered. Although the principles of airway management are well established, the timing of intervention and which technique to use are ...

The approach to airway management in the multiple trauma patient has changed significantly over the past decade. A number of central controversies have been identified, and the debates continue. This article identifies the major controversies in trauma airway management, reviews and summarizes relevant literature, and presents specific recommendations and supporting arguments. Particular emphas...

subcutaneous emphysema is a rare complication of postoperative nausea and vomiting and can lead to airway compromise. we describe a case of delayed, severe subcutaneous emphysema after postoperative vomiting which fortunately did not lead to airway compromise and eliminated with conservative management. rough and difficult laryngoscopy and intubation, presence of clots and bloody discharge afte...

OBJECTIVES Although successful airway management is essential for emergency trauma care, comprehensive studies are limited. We sought to characterise current trauma care practice of airway management in the emergency departments (EDs) in Japan. DESIGN Analysis of data from a prospective, observational, multicentre registry-the Japanese Emergency Airway Network (JEAN) registry. SETTING 13 ac...

BACKGROUND The Scandinavian society of anaesthesiology and intensive care medicine task force on pre-hospital airway management was asked to formulate recommendations following standards for trustworthy clinical practice guidelines. METHODS The literature was systematically reviewed and the grading of recommendations assessment, development and evaluation (GRADE) system was applied to move fr...

OBJECTIVES Submental intubation has been advocated as an alternative to classical tracheostomy for certain indicated panfacial trauma surgeries. Surgeons should have various options for airway management in maxillofacial trauma patients. Most maxillofacial injuries involve occlusal derangements, which might require intraoperative occlusal corrections; hence, orotracheal intubation is not ideal....

BACKGROUND The effective treatment of airway compromise in trauma and non-trauma patients is important. Hypoxia and hypotension are predictors of negative patient outcomes and increased mortality, and may be important quality indicators of care provided by emergency medical services. Excluding cardiac arrests, critical trauma and non-trauma patients remain the two major groups to which helicopt...

BACKGROUND Airway compromise is a leading cause of death in unconscious trauma patients. Although endotracheal intubation is regarded as the gold standard treatment, most prehospital providers are not trained to perform ETI in such patients. Therefore, various lateral positions are advocated for unconscious patients, but their use remains controversial in trauma patients. We conducted a systema...
