Abstract
Purpose of Review: To discuss the challenges associated with airway management in patients with airway trauma and provide evidence-based management strategies. Recent Findings: Patients with traumatic injury to the airway have both anatomic and physiologic challenges associated with airway management. Appropriate choice of airway management tools, induction agents and pre-procedural patient optimization are important. Summary: Management of a traumatized airway requires a coordinated multidisciplinary approach and the impact of choice of drugs, airway devices and tools to optimize patients prior to the procedure on outcomes needs further exploration. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2024.
