About

    Airway management is a critical aspect of medical care that involves ensuring the patency of a patient's airway to facilitate adequate ventilation and oxygenation. This may involve techniques such as intubation, insertion of a supraglottic airway device, or administration of medications to maintain airway patency. Proper airway management is crucial in emergency situations, anesthesia, and critical care to prevent respiratory compromise and ensure adequate oxygen delivery to the tissues. Research in this area focuses on improving techniques, devices, and strategies for effective airway management to optimize patient outcomes and safety.
