Airway Management Guidelines

Airway management guidelines provide professionals with steps to ensure a person’s airway stays open and clear to breathe, especially in emergencies. They include assessing if someone is breathing, positioning them correctly, and using tools like masks or tubes if needed. The goal is to prevent airway blockage and secure breathing quickly and safely. These guidelines help responders act efficiently, reducing the risk of brain damage or death when someone cannot breathe normally. Following standardized procedures ensures the person gets the best care possible until normal breathing can resume.
