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.
