Airway Management in Emergency Situations
Julian Welly
Abstract: In emergency situations, an airway approach is essential to reduce hypoxemia and the consequences of nerve damage. In prehospital care, advanced management of the airways is indicated as one of the five research priorities in prehospital critical care. Airway management is the first intervention in an emergency as one of the recommendations from Advanced Trauma Life Support. Endotracheal intubation is the procedure of choice for doctors. However, the effective use of the pocket - valve - mask is evidenced by the new two - handed sealing technique. The aim of this study is to approach airway management in an emergency situation.
