AB The  evaluation  and  management  of  the  airway  is  a  crucial  component  of  any  critically  ill  medical  or  trauma  patient.  Any  airway  has  the  potential  to  be  challenging.  Certain  situations  complicate  our  standard  approach  to  securing  the  airway  and  warrant  attention.  Mandibular  and  maxillofacial  trauma  complicate  the  standard  approach  to  securing  an  airway.  Patients  presenting  with  hardware  in  place  due  to  previous  mandibular  and/or  maxillofacial  fixation  and  requiring  airway  protection  and/or  intubation  represent  a  potentially  challenging  situation.  The  technique  for  emergent  mandibular  and/or  maxillofacial  fixation  release  to  facilitate  airway  rescue  will  be  discussed  in  this  chapter.
