Abstract
The decision to control a patient’s airway during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is straightforward. Patients in cardiopulmonary arrest generally are totally unresponsive, and airway techniques can be used without the need for pharmacological adjuncts. Much of the decision making relates to timing and the type of ventilation method to use. These decisions are influenced by the patient’s oxygenation status, duration of arrest, expected difficulties with airway control, and operator experience and training.
