Abstract:
Airway-related articles have featured heavily in the British Journal of Anaesthesia since it was founded in 1923. In the 100 years thereafter, 1102 airway-related articles have been published in the journal, written by 2955 unique authors from 55 different countries. In this editorial, we highlight some of the major publications in airway management and their impact on the specialty. Summaries of the most cited articles are contained within online supplementary material as well as links to all airway-related articles for readers who wish to delve deeper into this body of work.

Objectives and Importance:
The primary goal of respiratory assessment is to evaluate patients at early risk of clinical deterioration. Since respiratory distress often precedes other signs of declining health, breathing patterns and sounds become a...
Mechanism of Breathing I: Inspiration
The respiratory system, an essential network for breathing, comprises the conducting and respiratory zones, each playing a crucial role in the overall process of respiration. Let us explore the detailed mechanism of inspiration, or inhalation, which is the first phase of the respiratory cycle.
Pathway of Air during Inspiration
During inspiration, air enters our body through the nose or mouth and moves through the conducting zone,...
