    AbstractWhen to intervene and control the airway is the critical decision the physician must make. The technical expertise and confidence of each physician determine the particular airway modality chosen. The medications used depend on each clinical setting and can significantly impact the outcome of airway management. To control the airway and breathing and move on to circulation requires a broad knowledge of alternative airway management techniques and the challenging task of placing each into the appropriate clinical setting.
