Advances in Airway Management and Ventilation Strategies in Emergency Medicine
Description
Emergency airway management poses challenges which are not encountered in other settings. These unique challenges have led to the development of a number of new devices designed to help in case of difficult airways. Implementation of these new devices in emergency situations should increase effectiveness and safety of patients. There is also ongoing debate regarding ideal ventilation strategies in emergency medicine.
We invite authors to submit original research and review articles that compare airway management techniques and ventilation methods in emergency situations. We are interested in articles that explore all aspects of emergency airway management including human, animal, and manikin models.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Comparison of airway management devices in emergency medicine including resuscitation, airway management in trauma patients (including cervical spine protection)
- Comparison of airway management strategies and their influence on emergency patient outcome and safety
- Effective airway management techniques in out-of-hospital settings and in-hospital settings in emergency
- Novel airway devices when performed by paramedics and nurses
- Comparison of ventilation strategies in emergency settings
- What devices can be used in CVCI situations?
- Devices prevent from intubation induced injuries in life-threatening situations
- Comparison of usefulness of airway devices in RSI
- Anesthesia methods in RSI and other airway management emergency settings
