Abstract:
Safe airway management is the primary task of anesthesiologists.Anesthesiologists must have good airway management skills including dealing with all kinds of difficult airway in time and effectively to ensure the ventilation and oxygenation of patients and to avoid regurgitation and aspiration.The second World Airway Management Meeting held in Netherlands in November 2019 discussed fourteen topics related to airway management.This article will focus on six hot issues in this session, namely, 1.Human factors and safe airway management; 2.Management of patients with full stomach; 3.Difficult Airway Society (DAS) Awake Tracheal Intubation (ATI) guidelines; 4.Whether awake tracheal intubation can solve all the difficult airway, and whether succinylcholine is out of date; 5.The Universal Management of Airways Guidelines; 6.Transnasal Humidified Rapid-Insufflation Ventilatory Exchange (THRIVE). The purpose of interpreting and analyzing the above hot issues is to timely update the knowledge of airway management for anesthesiologists, and to improve the understanding and mastery of airway management, especially difficult airway management.
