Advances in Airway Management

The respiratory tract is the subdivision of the respiratory system involved with the process of conducting air to the alveoli for the purposes of gas exchange in mammals. The respiratory tract is lined with respiratory epithelium as respiratory mucosa.Air is breathed in through the nose to the nasal cavity, where a layer of nasal mucosa acts as a filter and traps pollutants and other harmful substances found in the air. Next, air moves into the pharynx, a passage that contains the intersection between the oesophagus and the larynx. The opening of the larynx has a special flap of cartilage, the epiglottis, that opens to allow air to pass through but closes to prevent food from moving into the airway. 

In the present book, twelve typical literatures about airway management published on international authoritative journals were selected to introduce the worldwide newest progress, which contains reviews or original researches on airway management. We hope this book can demonstrate advances in airway management as well as give references to the researchers, students and other related people.
