Many airway courses teach us about the physical task of intubation. Similarly, most "difficult airway" courses cover psychomotor and procedural challenges encountered in airway management. Here, we focus on the physiologic difficulties that can lead to clinical deterioration during the peri-intubation period and how to mitigate them. Next time you have to perform airway management, DON'T just "HOp to it," make sure your patient's physiology has been optimized first!
Learning Objectives:
Differentiate anatomic from physiologic airway management difficulties
