Treatment & Procedures
Airway management is critical to the practice of emergency medicine. It is an essential skill when caring for severely injured or ill patients. RSI or rapid sequence intubation is one of the most used means of intubating the trachea for airway management.
In cases where a patient is unable to breathe due to restricted airways, an emergency procedure known as a tracheostomy is performed to allow the patient to breathe directly from an opening in the throat which is connected to a ventilator. This is a key life-saving emergency procedure that prevents the patient from asphyxiating.
