Abstract

Difficult intubation in emergency settings represents a critical challenge due to limited patient preparation time, unstable physiological status, and often incomplete airway assessment. Emergency airway management requires rapid decision-making and familiarity with multiple airway strategies to prevent hypoxia, aspiration, and cardiac arrest. Identifying patients at risk, choosing appropriate intubation techniques, and ensuring availability of alternative airway devices are essential to reducing morbidity and mortality.
