FAQ's

Advanced emergency airway management refers to specialised techniques used by medical professionals to secure a patient's airway during critical situations, such as when a patient is unable to breathe adequately on their own.

Advanced airway management becomes necessary when a patient is unable to maintain a clear airway due to conditions like severe trauma, respiratory failure, or unconsciousness.

Techniques may include Endotracheal Intubation, where a tube is inserted through the mouth or nose into the windpipe, or surgical airway procedures like Cricothyroidotomy in extreme cases.

Patients are usually unconscious or under sedation during the procedure, so they typically do not feel pain. However, there may be some discomfort or soreness afterwards.

Like any medical procedure, there are potential risks, including injury to the mouth or throat tissues, bleeding, and complications related to anaesthesia or sedation.

The duration of the procedure varies depending on the patient's condition and the technique used. In critical situations, medical professionals work swiftly to secure the airway as efficiently as possible.

In most cases, patients are not awake during advanced emergency airway management procedures. They are typically unconscious or under sedation to ensure their comfort and safety.
