title: Airway management in cardiac arrest.
abstract: Airway management has been emphasized as crucial to effective resuscitation of patients in cardiac arrest. However, recent research has shown that coronary and cerebral perfusion should be prioritized rather than airway management. Endotracheal intubation has been deemphasized. This article reviews the current state of the literature regarding airway management of the patient in cardiac arrest. Ventilatory management strategies are also discussed.
