B airway management
B airway management refers to the techniques and processes used to ensure that a patient has a clear and open airway for breathing. This is crucial in medical emergencies, as a blocked airway can lead to serious complications. Techniques can include head-tilt and chin-lift maneuvers, the use of suction to clear obstructions, and the placement of devices like airway tubes or masks. Proper airway management is essential for maintaining adequate oxygen supply to the body and is a fundamental skill in both emergency medicine and routine healthcare settings.
