Airway management are a set of medical procedures performed in order to prevent airway obstruction and thus ensuring an open pathway between a patient’s lungs and the outside world. This is accomplished by clearing or preventing obstructions of airways, often referred to as choking, caused by the tongue, the airways themselves, foreign bodies or materials from the body itself, such as blood or stomach content, the latter resulting in aspiration. Airway management can be divided into two categories: Basic and advanced airway management. Basic techniques are simple to perform even by non-health care professionals and do not require use of medical equipment, whereas advanced techniques require special training and medical equipment. Advanced airway management is further categorised in increasing order of invasiveness into supraglottic devices, such as oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal airways, followed by infraglottic techniques, such as tracheal intubation, and finally surgical methods. Airway management is a primary consideration in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, anaesthesia, emergency medicine, intensive care medicine and first aid. Airway management is covered under "A" In the ABC treatment mnemonic. ==Basic airway management== (詳細はinvasive, simple to perform and unlike advanced airway management does not rely on the use of medical equipment. Basic airways management can be divided into treatment and prevention. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Airway management」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
