AB "Airway  management"  may  be  defined  as  the  application  of  therapeutic  interventions  that  are  intended  to  affect  gas  exchange  in  patients.  Gas  exchange  is  the  fundamental  feature  of  this  definition.1  A  number  of  devices  and  techniques  are  commonly  employed  in  health-care  settings  to  achieve  this  goal,  for  example,  bag-mask-ventilation  (BMV),  extraglottic  devices  (EGDs),  oral  or  nasal  endotracheal  intubation,  and  surgical  airway  management  techniques.
