Airway management is a critical component of intensive care medicine, where prompt and effective intervention can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality. Patients in the ICU often require airway support due to inadequate oxygenation and ventilation or to protect against aspiration. Managing the airway in critically ill patients presents unique challenges, frequently due to physiological derangements and anatomical complexities. A structured approach—incorporating thorough assessment, preparation, and execution—is essential to optimize outcomes. Multidisciplinary teamwork, with clear communication and designated roles, enhances the efficiency and safety of airway interventions [1, 2] [Ref: Algorithm 84.1].

摘要

Airway management is a critical component of intensive care medicine, where prompt and effective intervention can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality. Patients in the ICU often require airway support due to inadequate oxygenation and ventilation or to protect against aspiration. Managing the airway in critically ill patients presents unique challenges, frequently due to physiological derangements and anatomical complexities. A structured approach—incorporating thorough assessment, preparation, and execution—is essential to optimize outcomes. Multidisciplinary teamwork, with clear communication and designated roles, enhances the efficiency and safety of airway interventions [1, 2] [Ref: Algorithm 84.1].
