This document discusses airway evaluation, management of difficult airways, and intubation. It outlines indications for intubation including resuscitation, prevention of lung soiling, positive pressure ventilation, and respiratory failure. Successful intubation requires proper positioning, equipment, and alignment of the mandible, tongue-mandible joint, and cervical spine. Tests like Mallampatti and Wilson scores can predict difficulty. Management involves securing expected difficult airways awake and having backup plans for unexpected difficulties to maintain oxygenation. Complications of intubation include inadequate ventilation, esophageal intubation, airway obstruction, and trauma.
