"Informal manual to accompany a one-day airway course (AIME-Airway Interventions and Management in Emergencies) for delivery to Canadian emergency physicians"--P. xiii.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Introduction -- Definitive airway management -- Airway physiology and anatomy -- Oxygen delivery devices and bag-mask ventilation -- Tracheal intubation by direct laryngoscopy -- Alternative intubation techniques -- Rescue oxygenation -- How to do awake tracheal intubations--oral and nasal -- Rapid sequence intubation--why and how to do it -- Postintubation management -- Approach to tracheal intubation -- Response to an encountered difficult airway -- Airway pharmacology -- Central nervous system emergencies -- Cardiovascular emergencies -- Respiratory emergencies -- The critically ill patient -- The very young and the very old patient -- Prehospital airway management considerations -- Human factors in airway management.
This resource covers all the options-both medical and surgical-for managing any patient's airway in an emergency. Here, you'll find the core knowledge and accompanying management protocols necessary to assess, oxygenate, intubate, and monitor patients requiring emergency airway management. In each chapter, this coverage is supported by evidence-based algorithms, synoptic tips, and real-world case studies that show you how to resolve any difficult airway scenario you would likely encounter in clinical practice.
