Airway masterclass 2: The nose

Dr Mike Dobson, Oxford

Consultant Anaesthetist

14th JANUARY 2007

Abstract

The nose is the normal upper airway

Understanding nasal anatomy is the key to effective airway management

Always use a gentle technique, and the smallest tube that will do the job

Extra vigilance is needed when the airway is shared to allow surgical access
