Chapter 11: Airway Management (EMT Lecture)

Airway management is the foundation of emergency care. In this EMT lecture, we cover a complete, step-by-step approach to airway assessment and management using concepts from Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured (AAOS), with practical tips you can apply on exams, skills checks, and real-world calls. What you’ll learn in this video: Airway anatomy and physiology: upper vs. lower airway, ventilation vs. oxygenation Recognizing airway compromise and respiratory failure (early vs. late findings) Primary assessment priorities: airway opening, suctioning, and positioning Manual airway maneuvers: head-tilt chin-lift and jaw-thrust (including trauma considerations) Airway adjuncts: OPA and NPA indications, contraindications, sizing, insertion, and troubleshooting Suctioning best practices and preventing hypoxia during airway clearance Oxygen delivery devices: nasal cannula, nonrebreather, and basic principles of oxygen therapy Bag-mask ventilation fundamentals: mask seal, tidal volume, rate, and avoiding hyperventilation Two-person BVM technique and common ventilation errors Special populations and complications: vomiting/aspiration risk, facial trauma, pediatrics, and altered mental status
