Index.

The consequences of failure to adequately oxygenate a patient and ventilate their lungs during surgery can be catastrophic. Taking a uniquely case-based approach to clinical airway management, this textbook provides a comprehensive and richly illustrated guide to this vital component of anesthetic practice. The clinically diverse cases include practical guidance on the choice of management technique, airway device, its placement, associated medications and mode of ventilation, and cover important advances in equipment and scientific knowledge to keep clinicians up to date on recent developments in the field. As well as upper airway problems, this text also encompasses the management of less commonly discussed lower airway challenges. The written material is supplemented by links to additional online videos. Written by an international collection of leading experts, Clinical Airway Management is a useful and extensive resource that helps anesthesiologists, emergency physicians, intensivists and trainees navigate the challenges faced every day in clinical practice.

Key Features
• High quality illustrations and supplemental videos offer the reader an increased understanding of the discussed techniques and concepts
• Unlike competing titles which focus on the upper airway, this book covers both upper and lower airway management problems, giving a more comprehensive and useful overview of the field
• Takes a more directly case-based approach than other books on this subject, which provides a more problem-based learning experience for trainees and more practical and applicable guidance for practicing clinicians
