Considered the go-to reference in airway management not only in anesthesia practice but also in emergency medicine and intensive care settings, Hagberg and Benumof's Airway Management ensures that practitioners worldwide are familiar and proficient with the most recent developments in equipment and scientific knowledge in this fast-changing area. Covering all aspects of this fundamental practice, the new 5th Edition facilitates the safe performance of airway management for all airway practitioners, regardless of specialty, using a concise, how-to approach, carefully chosen illustrations, and case examples and analysis throughout.The only volume of its kind completely dedicated to airway management, this edition features: - Well-illustrated and tightly focused coverage, with anatomical drawings, charts, algorithms, photos, and imaging studies for quick reference—many new to this edition. - Key Points in every chapter, as well as up-to-date information on the latest ASA guidelines. - Two new chapters covering Combination Techniques and Human Factors in Airway Management; all other chapters have been thoroughly revised to reflect current thinking and practice. - A significantly expanded video library, including intubating the COVID-19 patient and new videos on ultrasonography of the airway. - Enhanced eBook version included with purchase. Your enhanced eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references from the book on a variety of devices.

In recent years, our understanding of the unified airway concept has become paramount in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of sinonasal, airway, and respiratory disorders. The relationship between sinonasal inflammatory disorders, such as chronic rhinosinusitis, and pulmonary disorders, such as asthma or cystic fibrosis, is being examined more closely than ever before. This volume comprehensively reviews and discusses the unified airway approach, and more closely examines the relationship between sinonasal inflammatory disorders and pulmonary disorders. The text is formatted as an easy to read reference with bulleted points and sample case studies that maximize the clinical value of the evidence and data described. In addition to exploring chronic rhinosinusitis in patients with asthma and cystic fibrosis, other topics include pediatric chronic rhinosinusitis, aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease, chronic bronchiectasis, primary ciliary dyskinesia, immunodeficiencies, and the unified airway microbiome. Rhinologic Disease and Respiratory Disorders will be an invaluable guide for practicing otolaryngologists, allergists, pulmonologists, otolaryngologists-in-training, and rhinologists.Foreword written by David W. Kennedy and Elina M. Toskala.

In recent years, there have been many advances in the safe management of the patient's airway, a cornerstone of anesthetic practice. An Update on Airway Management brings forth information about new approaches in airway management in many clinical settings. This volume analyzes and explains new preoperative diagnostic methods, algorithms, intubation devices, extubation procedures, novelties in postoperative management in resuscitation and intensive care units, while providing a simple, accessible and applicable reading experience that helps medical practitioners in daily practice. The comprehensive updates presented in this volume make this a useful reference for anesthesiologists, surgeons and EMTs at all levels. Key topics reviewed in this reference include: · New airway devices, clinical management techniques, pharmacology updates (ASA guidelines, DAS algorithms, Vortex approach, etc.), · Induced and awake approaches in different settings · Updates on diagnostic accuracy of perioperative radiology and ultrasonography · Airway management in different settings (nonoperating room locations and emergency rooms) · Airway management in specific patient groups (for example, patients suffering from morbid obesity, obstetric patients and critical patients) · Algorithms and traditional surgical techniques that include emergency cricothyrotomy and tracheostomy in ‘Cannot Intubate, Cannot Ventilate'scenarios. · Learning techniques to manage airways correctly, focusing on the combination of knowledge, technical abilities, decision making, communication skills and leadership · Special topics such as difficult airway management registry, organization, documentation, dissemination of critical information, big data and databases

This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the information available on the morphological, physiological and evolutionary aspects of specialized cells distributed within the epithelia of the airways in the vertebrates. A lot of work has been done on the cell and molecular biology of these cells which are regarded as as oxygen receptor neuroepithelial cells. These chemoreceptors which were conserved throughout evolution have neuroendocrine functions carrying their signals to the central nervous system. The chemoreceptor cells are sensors which detect the signal changes in the external and internal environments, and play a key role in the survival of various species. Studies addressed to the chemoreceptor cell systems in the airways are of great importance for investigating their response to changes in the oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations in the environment since the future of the planet earth is being threatened by global warming and climate change. Praise for the book:...This volume would be of special interest to researchers who are curious about the evolution of vertebrate respiratory control in general and the regulation of ventilation in nonmammalian vertebrates in particular. -Wayne L. Silver, Wake Forest University, in The Quarterly Review of Biology, Volume 85, Number 2

The aim of this book is to focus on the airway management. Airway management is the evaluation, planning, and use of medical procedures and devices for the purpose of maintaining or restoring ventilation in a patient. These procedures are indicated in patients undergoing general anesthesia and in patients with respiratory failure or acute airway obstruction. This book consists of 14 chapters, which include understanding the basics, clinical evaluation of airway, anesthetic pharmacology, instruments, tracheal intubation, fiberoptic bronchoscope, surgical airway, confirmation techniques of secured airways, one lung ventilation, difficult airways, extubation, ventilation strategies, airway management in airway surgeries and airway fires, and advances in airway management. Airway as a topic may seem small but it needs vast knowledge of all spheres—anatomy, physiology, pharmacology and instruments. The knowledge of the airway is tested in every examination—MCQs, written examinations, OSCE/viva, in all parts of the world. This book is useful in the everyday practice.

Das Buch beschreibt die Indikationen und sachgerechten Durchführungen aller gängigen Varianten der chirurgischen Tracheotomien im Erwachsenen- und Kindesalter sowie die Methoden der perkutan dilatativen Tracheotomien. Der Notfalleingriff Koniotomie wird im Rahmen des Airway Management ausführlich beschrieben. Praxisbezogene anatomische und histomorphologische Darstellungen bahnen das Verständnis zum Operationsgebiet. Die Wege zum Dekanülement unter Beachtung der Grunderkrankungen sowie logopädischer, phoniatrischer, neurologischer und pflegerischer Schwerpunkte werden ausführlich dargestellt. Praxisbezogene Hinweise zur Kanülenauswahl und deren Materialeigenschaften sowie gezielte Anleitungen zur Kanülen- Haut- und Schleimhautpflege für Tracheotomien werden gegeben. Zahlreiche chirurgische Aspekte zu Möglichkeiten eines Stomaverschlusses werden aufgezeigt. Das Buch befasst sich intensiv mit Komplikationen durch Tracheotomien aus Sicht verschiedener Fachgebiete. Umfangreiches Wissen zu Tracheahinterwandverletzungen und den operativen Techniken bei Trachealstenosen sowie den interventionellen Therapiemöglichkeiten durch Stenting wird in eigenen Kapiteln vermittelt. Anästhesiologische und beatmungsmedizinische Besonderheiten, auch speziell für Patienten mit schwierigem Atemweg bei aufgetretenen ernsten Komplikationen oder einem erhöhtem Hirndruck, werden mit Empfehlungen nach neueren Erkenntnissen abgehandelt.
