Supraglottic Airway Devices T2 Emergency Medicine Procedures, 2e YR 2013 FD 2013 PB The McGraw-Hill Companies PP New York, NY SN 978-0-07-161352-1 LK accessemergencymedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=57701896 RD 2024/03/28 AB Airway management remains one of the cornerstones of the clinical practice of Emergency Medicine in both the Emergency Department and the prehospital environment. The majority of advanced airway placements in the prehospital environment occur in the cardiac arrest or trauma patient. Advances in the science of performing better cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) aim to limit the “no-flow-time” associated with resuscitation. Most supraglottic airway devices aim for an insertion time under 30 seconds. Some Emergency Medical Service (EMS) systems have emphasized the use of an alternative airway device over endotracheal intubation.1,2
