PY - 2017 T2 - Hung's Difficult and Failed Airway Management, 3e AB - “Airway management” may be defined as the application of therapeutic interventions that are intended to effect gas exchange in patients who are unable to do it for themselves. Gas exchange is fundamental to this definition.1 A number of devices and techniques are commonly employed in health care settings to achieve this goal. These include the use of bag-mask-ventilation (BMV), extraglottic devices (EGDs), oral or nasal endotracheal intubation (ETI), and invasive or surgical airway techniques.
