Difficult response paths. How not to get scared and not be mistaken. Zaitsev A.Yu., Svetlov V.A., Dubrovin K.V.

The book presents data on the methods of maintaining the patency of the respiratory tract in the periodic period in patients in maxillofacial surgery based on domestic and foreign clinical recommendations, as well as many years of experience of the authors. The concepts of “difficult respiratory tract” are given methods for evaluating difficult respiratory tract, and the concept of “hidden threat” is also presented for the first time - a state in which the risk of developing difficult intubation is associated with invisible inspection by anatomical deformations or functional changes. Devices for maintaining the patency of the respiratory tract are shown - from classic to the most modern, including video visualization based on video.

The classification of air ducts is proposed and the features of their application are revealed. The Extubation technique after reconstructive maxillofacial operations with the implementation of preventive laryngoscopy was examined in detail, probable errors and complications are indicated. Information is supplemented by a historical certificate. The text is equipped with a visual illustrative material.

The publication is intended for practicing anesthesiologists-resuscitologists, maxillofaces and ENT surgeons, students of senior medical universities.
