The Difficult Airway

In this week’s episode McGill medical student, Kevin Gorsky, discusses managing the difficult airway. This is a vital but slightly scary topic for medical students.  The airway is the first letter of ABC and above all if you don’t have an airway, breathing and circulation don’t really matter.

After listening to this podcast, the listener should be able to:

  • Understand when a patient is considered to have a difficult airway
  • Describe how to initially approach these emergency situations safely
