Sažetak
Airway management in emergency department (ED) is an essential skill for clinicians caring for critically ill or injured patients and provide the greatest challenge to the practice of emergency medicine. Compared to the elective setting in the operating room is associated with a higher rate of complications which include hypoxaemia, dysrhythmias, cardiovascular collapse, oesophageal intubation, aspiration and death. Due to specificities of airway management in terms of critical anatomical, physiological, and pathological features there is still an ongoing debate about who should manage and who should be responsible for endotracheal intubation (ETI) in critically ill patient, anesthesiologists or emergency physicians. This article reviews certain issues related to emergency airway management with a focus on the role of anaesthetists and emergency physicians (EP) in ED.
