Airway management of an elective surgical patient
British Journal of Nursing, 10/27/09

Pritchard MJ – This article explores not only the anatomy of the respiratory system but the different techniques and methods employed to manage a patient's airway. Airway management can be divided into three distinct phases. The first phase deals with the management of the airway while the patient undergoes an operation; this is managed by the anaesthetist. While the second phase deals with the patient's airway in the immediate recovery period, it usually occurs in a recover room and is managed by a recovery nurse. The third phase is when the patient returns to the ward, and for the first 24–48 hours after a general anaesthetic. It is only by recognizing the signs and symptoms of respiratory distress and initiating effective treatment that serious consequences can be avoided.
