Advanced airway management

Advanced airway management involves specialized techniques used by healthcare professionals to ensure a person can breathe when normal breathing is blocked or insufficient. This includes methods like inserting a breathing tube called an endotracheal tube through the mouth or nose into the windpipe, or using devices like laryngeal masks. These procedures help deliver oxygen directly to the lungs and are crucial in emergency situations, surgeries, or when patients are unable to breathe on their own. Proper airway management can be life-saving, maintaining oxygen flow until normal breathing is restored or further treatment is provided.
