  2. Sybill Storz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sybill_Storz

    In 2013, Storz was awarded the DAS medal from the Difficult Airway Society for expanding the Storz company and registering over 100 patents in the field of airway management. She was praised for her interest in supporting the needs of physicians and for her effective development of communications and training. [5]

  3. Advanced airway management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_airway_management

    Various expert societies in airway management, including the American Society of Anesthesiologists, have recommended approaches to difficult airways. The algorithm provides a step-by-step framework to respond to situations where traditional airway management techniques may be inadequate.

  4. Rapid sequence induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_sequence_induction

    In anaesthesia and advanced airway management, rapid sequence induction (RSI) – also referred to as rapid sequence intubation or as rapid sequence induction and intubation (RSII) or as crash induction [1] – is a special process for endotracheal intubation that is used where the patient is at a high risk of pulmonary aspiration.

  5. Laryngeal mask airway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laryngeal_mask_airway

    The anaesthesia community had been calling for practice guidelines and in 1992 the ASA commissioned a task force to establish practice guidelines for managing difficult airway situations. The ASA algorithm for difficult airways was published in 1993 and stressed an early attempt at insertion of the laryngeal mask if face mask ventilation was ...

  6. Laryngeal tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laryngeal_tube

    The laryngeal tube (also known as the King LT) [1] is an airway management device designed as an alternative to other airway management techniques such as mask ventilation, laryngeal mask airway, and tracheal intubation.

  7. Airway management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airway_management

    Excessive facial hair, severe burns, and maxillofacial trauma may prevent acquisition of a good mask seal, rendering bag-valve mask ventilation difficult. Edema of the airway can make laryngoscopy difficult, and therefore in those with suspected thermal burns, intubation is recommended in attempts to quickly secure an airway prior to ...

  8. Procedural sedation and analgesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedural_sedation_and...

    An airway is assessed by the patient's ability or the physician's ability to oxygenate (provide oxygen) or ventilate (exhale carbon dioxide). Examples of a difficult airway include a thick neck/obese patient, head and neck structural abnormalities, and lung disease.

  9. Airtraq - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airtraq

    Airtraq is a fibreoptic intubation device used for indirect (video or optic assisted) tracheal intubation in difficult airway situations. It is designed to enable a view of the glottic opening without aligning the oral with the pharyngeal, and laryngeal axes as an advantage over direct endotracheal intubation and allows for intubation with minimal head manipulation and positioning.
