Airway Management in Critical Care
The management of a severely ill patient's airway when they are unable to maintain proper breathing and oxygenation is referred to as airway management in critical care. This session will focus on the latest techniques and technologies for managing the airway in critically ill patients, including video laryngoscopy, supraglottic airway devices, and percutaneous tracheostomy. Ongoing research is investigating the effectiveness of video laryngoscopy in various patient populations and clinical settings.
