AB Airway  management  can  significantly  affect  outcomes  for  hospitalized  critically  ill  patients.  Failure  to  deliver  adequate  oxygen  may  cause  irreversible  brain  damage  or  preclude  successful  resuscitation.  Options  for  management  may  range  from  assisted  ventilation  with  a  bag-valve-mask  (BVM)  to  noninvasive  ventilation  (NIV)  support  to  endotracheal  intubation  (Table  121-1).  A  successful  outcome  in  any  intubation  demands  proficiency  in  patient  assessment,  knowledge  of  the  equipment  (basic  and  advanced),  requisite  technical  skills,  appreciation  of  individual  limitations,  and  an  alternative  plan  to  deal  with  the  difficult  or  failed  airway.
