The Benefits Of Prehospital Advanced Airway Management Techniques In Improving Patient Outcomes

Abstract

Effective airway management and ventilation are crucial aspects of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) since they are necessary for delivering oxygen and preventing hypoxic damage, hence improving the likelihood of survival. After considering the advantages and disadvantages, the most effective method is to use a phased strategy. This involves first prioritizing high-quality chest compressions and defibrillation, then improving mask ventilation while getting ready for advanced airway management with a supraglottic airway device. While endotracheal intubation may still be necessary, it has the most significant disadvantages among all advanced airway procedures. Regardless of the stage of airway management, it is essential to regularly check the quality of breathing and chest compressions. Capnography has several benefits and should be used as a standard practice. The issues we must confront include optimizing ventilation systems, aligning ventilation with mechanical chest compression devices, and implementing them in complicated and stressful circumstances. These challenges need joint invention, research, and implementation.
