ABSTRACT
Emergency airway management is a rare but essential emergency medical intervention directly impacting morbidity and mortality of emergency patients. The success of airway management depends on various factors such as patient anatomy, environmental aspects and the provider performing the procedure. Therefore, the use of a clearly structured algorithm for anticipating the difficult airway in emergency situations is strongly recommended. Our article explains different ways of securing the airway as part of a structured algorithm as well as pitfalls and helpful tips.
