    AbstractEnsuring free passage of air is the first priority in emergency care of patients. Removing obstruction to softtissue, dislodging obstructing foreign bodies and positioning the patient correctly usually secure open airways and respiration in trauma patients. If respiration has ceased, oroendotracheal intubation is necessary and should be performed by trained personnel. Correct control of airways may reduce morbidity and mortality. The author discusses the practical aspects of control of airways and unobstructed respiration.
