AB  - Securing  the  airway  and  assuring  adequate  ventilation  are  the  first  priorities  in  the  resuscitation  of  any  acutely  ill  or  injured  patient.1  Without  a  patent  airway  and  adequate  gas  exchange  other  resuscitative  measures  will  almost  universally  be  futile.  Thus,  attention  to  the  airway  must  precede  or  occur  simultaneously  with  any  other  type  of  management.  The  exception  is  the  initial  defibrillation  in  cardiac  arrest  due  to  ventricular  fibrillation,  if  it  can  be  performed  immediately.  (Figure  10–1.)
