Article Abstract
Supraglottic airways have been utilized as an alternative to facemask ventilation and endotracheal intubation and thus have been essential to airway management since their introduction in the late 1980s. This chapter describes basic considerations in their use and an update on current clinical practice, with an emphasis on safe management. The devices have evolved to meet today's clinical airway challenges, and they provide benefits for patients and practitioners.

Background: Difficult airway management (DAM) is a challenging aspect of anesthetic care. Although nearly all DAM episodes result in successful intubation, complications are common and clinical decision-making may be complex. In adults with anticipated DAM scheduled for nonemergent surgery, we prospectively observed clinical decisions made during DAM such as awake/sedated versus anesthetized, choice of initial and subsequent devices, case cancellation/postponement, conversions between awake and anesthetized approaches, and process complications such as multiple intubation/supraglottic airway (SGA) insertion attempts, difficult bag-mask ventilation (BMV), hypoxemia, and cardiovascular destabilization.

Introduction: The effectiveness of supraglottic airway devices (SGDs) as a strategy for blind endotracheal intubation (ETI) was compared in this study.
Methods: A systematic review of clinical trials (CTs) involving SGDs for blind ETI in patients under general anesthesia or simulation manikins, was conducted. CTs that used SGDs for fiberoptic-guided ETI and those conducted in children were excluded.

Article Synopsis
- Epiglottitis is an inflammation of the epiglottis that can cause airway obstruction, previously mostly affecting children due to Hib infections, but now more common in adults following widespread vaccinations.
- A case of a fully vaccinated 58-year-old woman revealed severe symptoms and a successful bedside nasopharyngoscopy by emergency medicine, preventing the need for intubation.
- The report emphasizes recognizing epiglottitis in adults, the role of emergency physicians in performing nasopharyngoscopy, and the effectiveness of early treatment with antibiotics and corticosteroids for better recovery outcomes.
