Description of  Tracheal Intubation

This book deals with the basic principles of hypoxia and oxygenation in terms of functional airway anatomy and intubation requirements as well as difficult airway algorithms. Endotracheal intubation is a mandatory practice in the anesthesiologic management of surgical procedures, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, life-saving procedures in the emergency department, and medical procedures, and it involves many medical issues such as anesthesiology, surgery, and pulmonary diseases. Contents 1 Functional Anatomy and Physiology of Airway 2 Pathophysiology of Apnea, Hypoxia, and Preoxygenation 3 Indications for Endotracheal Intubation 4 The Importance of Proper Positioning for Airway Management for Obese Patients 5 Long-Term Complications of Tracheal Intubation 6 Intubation: Difficult Airway
