MANEJO DE VÍA AÉREA NO DIFÍCIL. DESDE LA VENTILACIÓN CON BOLSA HASTA INTUBACIÓN ORO TRAQUEAL

Airway management in a non difficult airway is an ability every physician should handle. It requires the knowledge of both anatomical and physiological basic concepts to keep a patent air access to the lungs. Ocassionally, for this goal, the use of certain devices such as oropharyngeal cannulaes, facial masks, ventilation bags and even an orotracheal intubation, is necessary. All of this will be reviewed in this chapter.
