Airway management is one of primary responsibilities of anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists in the OR. The care of patients with airway disease is an especially significant challenge. These patients often represent the highest risk population in anesthetic practice because of the potential for catastrophic and possibly fatal airway loss. This book will provide a video-illustrated, practical guide to the management of routine and complex patients and procedures. Each case will begin with a general discussion of the important topics encountered in the case. Then the case will be presented along with a series of questions. Images and video will present the patient's anatomy as well as use of intubation and other management equipment. Video and images will present relevant portions of the operative procedure. Each question will then be fully answered.

This book provides an easy-to-read introduction to this important topic that will be of value to a wide spectrum of healthcare professionals including anaesthetists, intensivists, ODPs, theatre and recovery nurses. Concise but comprehensive chapters from experts in the field cover everything from basic anatomy, physiology and applied physics, through the various methods of maintaining the airway under anaesthesia (supraglottic devices, tracheal intubation, tubes/cuffs, endobronchial and double-lumen tubes) to the problem airway (obstruction by infection, tumour or a foreign body, ENT and maxillo-facial surgery, aspiration, obstetrics, trauma, cervical spine disease, intensive care, the 'lost' airway, extubation and recovery), the paediatric airway, disinfection and cleaning of equipment and finally morbidity, mortality and medico-legal issues. 'Real' clinical scenarios, with patient management questions and model answers, are included throughout, to bring to life some of the key problems encountered in day-to-day practice and enhance the book's utility as a teaching and self-learning tool.
