    Basic Preparation for Difficult Airway Management

    1. Informing the patient with a known or suspected difficult airway
    2. Availability of equipment for management of a difficult airway (i.e., a portable storage unit)
    3. Availability of an assigned individual to provide assistance when a difficult airway is encountered
    4. Preanesthetic preoxygenation by facemask before induction of anesthesia

    Strategy for Intubation of the Difficult Airway

    • Awake intubation
    • Video-assisted laryngoscopy
    • Intubating stylets or tube-changers
    • SGA for ventilation (e.g., LMA, laryngeal tube)
    • SGA for intubation (e.g., ILMA)
    • Rigid laryngoscopic blades of varying design and size
    • Fiberoptic-guided intubation
    • Lighted stylets or light wands

    The identification of a primary or preferred approach to:

    1. Awake intubation
    2. Patient can be adequately ventilated but is difficult to intubate
    3. Life-threatening situation: the patient cannot be ventilated or intubated

    Difficult Airway:通氣困難?或 插管困難?.
    準備
    1. 告知病患/關係人 及 醫療團隊人員
    2. 準備困難插管組套
    3. 指定一人擔任困難插管助手
    4. 插管(麻醉)前, 持續給足氧氣

    確認狀況 選擇方案
    1. Awake intubation
    2. Non-Emergency :可通氣 但 困難插管
    3. Emergency :通氣不良 且 插管失敗
