Airway management is a crucial skill to master and the first
priority in the assessment of a critically ill or injured patient.
Failure to secure an adequate airway can quickly lead to death or
disability. Though primarily the remit of the anaesthesiologist,
airway management also presents challenges to the surgeon, for
example in obese patients or during surgery for thyroid cancer,
particularly where reconstruction of the airway is involved.
Management of the Difficult Airway: A Handbook for Surgeons is the
first book designed to help surgeons with the issues they face
maintaining a clear airway and preventing obstruction. It provides
practical guidance not just on emergency situations, but also on
complex, planned interventions where it is the surgeon who oversees
the management of the airway, for example during surgery for
congenital airway anomalies. Early chapters cover anatomy, imaging,
indications and specific techniques; later ones cover airway
situations in specific groups, for example patients requiring
surgical reconstruction of the airway resulting from cancer.
Management of the Difficult Airway provides a comprehensive, timely
review of the core knowledge and clinical skills necessary for
successful airway management in the surgical environment. Key
Points Provides a 'go-to' skills manual for surgeons focussing on
difficult airway management in surgical patients Covers surgical
airway management issues in adult and paediatric patients
Multidisciplinary author team combines the expertise of ENT and
other surgeons, radiologists and anaesthesiologists
