Abstract

The high complication rate following inadequate airway management and its fatal consequences sometimes call for a cross-national comparison to understand different approaches in different settings. Anaesthesiologists have long been considered experts in Airway Management (AM), notwithstanding other medical professionals are frequently solicited to perform such procedures outside Operating Rooms (OR), in some cases without adequate training.

Keywords: Airway management, Blind nasotracheal intubation, Cricothyroid membrane, Difficult airway, Emergency Room, Laryngoscopy, Paramedical, Simulation, Tracheal intubation, Training.
