surgical airway management

Surgical airway management is a medical procedure used to secure a person's breathing when other methods fail or are not possible. It involves creating an opening in the neck, directly into the windpipe (trachea), allowing air to enter the lungs. This is often done in emergency situations, such as severe injury, obstruction, or when someone cannot breathe properly. A healthcare professional uses specific tools to ensure the airway is clear and that the person can receive oxygen. This procedure is crucial for maintaining life and preventing serious complications from breathing difficulties.
