    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine
    • Airway Management
    • Patient Safety

    Context:

    • Difficult intubations present a frequent challenge in clinical practice.
    • Pre-intubation recognition of difficult airways is not always possible, necessitating proactive risk management strategies.

    Purpose:

    • To delineate essential prophylactic measures for preventing complications during endotracheal intubation.
    • To highlight critical interventions that minimize risks associated with airway management.

    Summary:

    • Key prophylactic measures include thorough patient examination (morphology, joint mobility, laryngoscopy), optimal patient positioning, and aspiration prophylaxis.
    • Careful selection and preparation of intubation equipment and medications are crucial.
    • Re-evaluation of the necessity of intubation, ensuring adequate oxygen supply, and pre-treatment ventilation are emphasized.
