Aims of airway management 260 Upper airway obstruction 260 Airway manoeuvres 261 Ventilation 266 • To relieve upper airway obstruction. • To facilitate positive pressure ventilation. • To protect respiratory tract from aspiration of gastric contents. Upper airway obstruction is a commonly encountered emergency and is often relieved by simple basic airway manoeuvres. Although many patients will go on to require more advanced management (e.g. tracheal intubation), such procedures carry a high failure rate and should not be performed by inexperienced practitioners. However, it is still useful to have a good knowledge about advanced airway manoeuvres as it enables the non-anaesthetist to prepare some of the equipment needed and to assist during the procedure once expert help has arrived....

Central Airway

Vascular central airway obstruction (CAO) is a rare cause of upper airway obstruction in adults. CAO occurs below the level where it is invisible in a laryngoscope. Doctors therefore should pay attention to the possibilities of vascular CAO when attempting to prevent and resolve catastrophic complications from upper airway obstruction such as cardiorespiratory collapse and hemoptysis, which requires a thoughtful preoperative planning of airway management before starting a surgical reconstruction.

Thyroglossal Duct Cysts

Thyroglossal duct cysts, though not uncommon, rarely present with evidence of laryngeal compromise. The case presented is one of the very few cases with documented laryngeal invasion reported in the English language. Of clinical significance is the patient's presentation with laryngeal symptoms of choking and dysphonia in the presence of a small anterior cervical mass. While the thyroglossal duct cyst usually presents as an asymptomatic anterior neck mass, this case illustrates the importance of considering a thyroglossal duct cyst in any patient with airway compromise in the absence of a neck mass.
