Williams airway

The Williams airway is a medical technique used to open and manage the airway of a patient during procedures when controlling breathing is essential. It involves inserting a specialized device called a laryngoscope to lift the tongue and soft tissues at the back of the throat, creating a clear passage for breathing tubes or ventilation. This method helps healthcare providers access the airway quickly and safely, especially in emergency or surgical situations, ensuring the patient can breathe adequately or receive anesthesia without obstruction.
