Airway maintenance of critically ill patients.

With the advancement of medical technology, artificial airway has been widely used in modern medicine in our country, especially in the treatment and rescue of critically ill patients. However, the establishment of an artificial airway will also affect the original anatomical structure and normal function of the airway, which will cause a series of complications and pose a serious threat to the prognosis of patients. Therefore, effective airway maintenance can not only prevent the occurrence of complications, reduce the physical and mental trauma to the patient, but also optimize the treatment effect. At this stage, domestic and foreign airway maintenance strategies have shown varying degrees of new cognition. This article reviews the latest research status of airway maintenance strateges at home and abroad, hoping to provide clinicians with a reference for the latest cognition in airway maintenance strategies.
