| Abstract | "Management of the difficult airway remains one of the highest risk procedures commonly performed by emergency medicine (EM) physicians.1 Providers must have a thorough understanding of airway management, the anatomic and contextual predictors of a difficult airway, and best practices to manage these considerations. Preparation, planning, and familiarity with proper positioning and technique are essential to ensure that these challenging situations are managed successfully"-- Provided by publisher. |
