Techniques for the Difficult Airway

A systematic approach to intubation that emphasizes planning and teamwork can reduce intubation complications. Early use of an EGA or cricothyroidotomy may reduce complications when oxygenation is inadequate. Use of a gum elastic bougie or indirect optical device is also associated with a high rate of intubation success when oxygenation permits. Difficult airway incidence during emergent intubation is 10%, but complications of ICU airway management remain common.
