Abstract

Tracheal intubation is the process of inserting a breathing tube into the trachea to provide airway patency and is primarily used to facilitate ventilation for the provision of surgery and critical care. It is the gold standard in airway protection from gastric aspiration or soiling from oropharyngeal secretions. With appropriate assessment and preparation, the vast majority of tracheal intubations are safe and uneventful, however patients can present with anatomical and physiological variations creating a difficult airway scenario. It is therefore of the highest importance that anaesthetists and airway management teams are familiar with the signs of a potentially difficult airway and are appropriately trained in the application of equipment that can increase the chance of a first attempt intubation.

气管插管

气管插管是将呼吸管插入气管以保持气道通畅的过程，主要用于外科手术和重症监护时的通气。它是防止胃误吸或口咽分泌物污染气道的金标准。通过适当的评估和准备，绝大多数气管插管是安全的，但患者可能出现解剖和生理变异，造成气道困难。因此，最重要的是麻醉师和气道管理团队熟悉潜在困难气道的迹象，并接受适当的设备应用培训，以增加首次插管尝试的机会。
