TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 23. Retrograde Guidewire Intubation A1 - Reichman, Eric F. PY - 2013 T2 - Emergency Medicine Procedures, 2e AB - Failure to establish a definitive airway is a significant cause of death and disability among emergency patients. Oral endotracheal intubation via direct laryngoscopy, increasingly often video-assisted, remains the “gold standard” of airway management. Difficult situations arise in which oral endotracheal intubation is impossible, is contraindicated, or fails. Retrograde guidewire intubation is an alternative airway management technique that should be familiar to those involved with emergency airway management.1 SN - PB - The McGraw-Hill Companies CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - accessemergencymedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=57702372 ER -
