What are some reasons why airway management is important?

<p>Airway management is important because it allows the delivery of oxygen and volatile anaesthetic agents to the patient, removes carbon dioxide, protects the airway from obstruction, and enables positive pressure ventilation if required.</p> Signup and view all the answers
