Y1 - 2018 N1 - T2 - Reichman's Emergency Medicine Procedures, 3e AB - Oral endotracheal intubation via direct laryngoscopy or video-assisted laryngoscopy 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. The American Society of Anesthesiology difficult airway algorithm describes retrograde intubation as an alternative airway in the nonemergent pathway when mask ventilation is adequate but multiple intubation attempts are not successful. The technique should be familiar to those involved with emergency airway management.1,2 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accessemergencymedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1159795409 ER -
