Protocolo de manejo de la vía aérea difícil. Implicación de la Declaración de Helsinki

The “Helsinki Declaration on Patient Safety in Anesthesiology” highlights the management of the difficult airway. A difficult airway management protocol includes a set of organized strategies to aid the choice of the ventilation and intubation techniques with the greatest chance of success and the lowest risk of causing injury to the patient. The aim is to guarantee oxygenation in potentially life-threatening and rapidly changing situations that require agile decision-making, thus reducing the number and severity of critical incidents and complications.
