Airway management refers to the assessment, planning and series of medical procedures necessary to restore or preserve a person's breathing or ventilation. It could be necessary for people in a range of situations from simple choking to complex airway obstruction. Medical procedures involved in airway management include supplemental oxygen, positioning, and bag-mask ventilation with or without adjuncts. Mechanical ventilation and airway management of patients are essential techniques in emergency medicine, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, intensive therapy, and emergency medical services. Complicated cases wherein the patients' airways are severely compromised usually require advanced airway devices such as supraglottic devices, endotracheal tubes, or surgical airway devices. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to airway management. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. The extensive content of this book provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.
