Nearly all airway courses focus on the physical task of intubation. Similarly, most "difficult airway" courses cover psychomotor and procedural challenges encountered in airway management. Here, we focus on the physiologic difficulties that can lead to clinical deterioration during the peri-intubation period and how to mitigate them. Next time you have to perform airway management, don't allow your patient to CRASH -- make sure their physiology has been optimized first!
 
  1. Differentiate anatomic from physiologic airway management difficulties
  2. Identify risk factors predicting physiologic difficulty using the CRASH and HOp mnemonics
  3. Formulate a treatment plan to prevent peri-intubation arrest in the physiologically challenging patient
  4. Compare and contrast airway management strategies in the medical versus trauma patient
