Abstract: | ![]() We have some good evidence but no proof regarding the usefulness of algorithms and guidelines for management of the difficult airway. Therefore, it is logical that there are no mandatory standards (yet) but only voluntary recommendations. Airway management is a practical matter, and a sufficient range of proven techniques should be practiced every day to facilitate successful use in emergencies. |
