Difficult Airway Management: BLS through ALS, what’s the best?
Airway management is the first and most critical objective in emergency patient care. We’ve found simple methods to rapidly identify and assess difficult airway conditions, new techniques to improve your odds of success, and novel ways to use the tools that we already have to manage the difficult airway. Less is more as BLS techniques are used to improve ALS airway management of the toughest airway emergencies. Is there a way that we can look at Airway Management as a whole picture and not a series of steps from apnea to BVM to intubation?
For the most difficult airways we'll take all the help we can get!
