Sommario/riassunto

Management of a patient with a difficult airway has undergone significant changes in recent years, with the introduction of both new guidelines and equipment. Chapters cover basic topics such as

New equipment is outlined and reviewed, and a chapter focuses on extubation and its importance. Thebook also includes a chapter on management in common clinical settings and a separate chapter covers paediatric airway
