Airway Emergencies Part 1 (Dr. Bhatti)

Airway, airway, airway - the thing that will kill first! If a patient doesn't have a patent airway, a cardiac arrest will ensue rapidly. Therefore basic airway management is a concept that every clinician should be well versed in. Are you able to maintain an airway? Are you able to understand what a difficult airway may look like? Do you know about the types of respiratory failure? Do you know about oxygen therapy? This is an introductory presentation on airway emergencies and will be followed by a second part exploring other ways to oxygenate and ventilate a patient. Hopefully this discussion will inspire viewers to read more into some of the topics discussed which may be explored further in future presentations.
