Abstract

The problem of airway management is the problem of patient safety and everyone who manages the airway should adopt no less than a high-quality approach. Emergency airway management is an exceptional challenge because the complications are life threatening and the risk of complications is also present in case of experienced anesthesiologists. Due consideration of technical and non-technical difficulties during airway management is as important as the choice of appropriate technical interventions for achieving quality airways. In this review, we will briefl y address the issue of the quality of emergency airway management in general and specifically outside the operating theatre in the hospital and out of the hospital.
