Airway management is the practice of ensuring that a patient’s airway is clear, open, and protected to allow for adequate ventilation and oxygenation. This process is critical in emergency care, surgery, and critical care settings, as it supports life by preventing or correcting any obstructions that could hinder breathing. This techniques range from simple, non-invasive methods, such as positioning or the use of airway adjuncts (e.g., oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal airways), to more complex procedures like intubation or tracheostomy.
In clinical practice, healthcare professionals assess airway patency, anticipate any potential challenges, and take immediate action to manage airways as needed. Effective airway management helps to prevent complications like hypoxia (low oxygen levels), respiratory arrest, and aspiration (inhalation of foreign material into the lungs), which can be life-threatening if not addressed swiftly and correctly.
