Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques

231
Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Advanced laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers without distant metastases are often treated with total laryngectomy.
  • Laryngectomy offers a prognostically superior approach for T4a carcinoma compared to primary radio(chemo)therapy.
  • Indications also include salvage surgery for recurrent disease or severe laryngeal dysfunction causing aspiration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of total laryngectomy in head and neck oncology.
  • To detail indications, diagnostic procedures, surgical techniques, and rehabilitation strategies.
  • To discuss complications, adjuvant treatments, and prognosis associated with the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Review of indications for total laryngectomy.
  • Description of the standardized surgical procedure, including neck dissection.
  • Discussion of preoperative diagnostics, adjuvant therapies, and rehabilitation options.

Main Results:

  • Total laryngectomy is a safe and standardized procedure.
  • Functional rehabilitation, such as voice prosthesis use, can significantly improve quality of life.
  • Robotic advancements are emerging in surgical procedures.

Conclusions:

  • Total laryngectomy remains a relevant and effective treatment for advanced laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers.
  • The procedure, when combined with rehabilitation, offers a curative approach with improved quality of life.
  • It is a crucial component of modern head and neck cancer management.
