Abstract

Trauma patients constitute a significant proportion of emergency department admissions. It is vital to have sufficient knowledge and experience in airway management of these patients. Choosing the most appropriate method for each patient may be the most challenging step for the practitioner. In particular, the fact that some generalizations are not supported by sufficient literature information makes this choice difficult. In this article, the options that can be used in airway management of trauma patients will be discussed.

Acil Serviste Travma Hastalarında Havayolu Yönetimi

Abstract

Travma hastaları acil servis başvurularının önemli bir kısmını oluşturmaktadır. Bu hastaların havayolu yönetiminde yeterli bilgi ve tecrübeye sahip olmak hayati önem taşımaktadır. Her hasta için en uygun yöntemin seçilmesi uygulayıcıyı en çok zorlayacak basamak olabilir. Özellikle de bazı genel kanıların yeterli literatür bilgisi ile desteklenmiyor olması bu seçimi zorlaştırmaktadır. Bu yazıda travma hastalarının havayolu yönetiminde kullanılabilecek seçenekler tartışılacaktır.
