Emergency Airway Management: Techniques, Technologies, and Decision Frameworks

This chapter provides a comprehensive review of current evidence governing difficult airway prediction, rapid sequence induction protocols, and the expanding role of video laryngoscopy and supraglottic airway devices in emergency settings. It also addresses the management of the failed airway, the front-of-neck access pathway, and prehospital airway challenges, synthesising landmark trials and consensus guidelines to support evidence-based decision-making by emergency practitioners.
