[Airway management in preclinical emergency anesthesia with respect to specialty and education].

CONCLUSION: The level of training in airway management especially for non-anesthetists is inhomogeneous. The recently published German S1 guidelines for prehospital airway management recommend education and training as well as the primary use of the video laryngoscope with Macintosh blade. The implementation could lower the incidence of subjective difficult airways. PMID: 32055885 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
