Airway management is fundamental to trauma care. Prompt airway management can prevent complications due to inadequate oxygenation or procedural difficulties in trauma patients; therefore, advanced equipment for handling a difficult airway is needed. After securing the airway with any suitable device, ventilation must be monitored by capnography, and moderate positive end-expiratory pressure must be the target. A trauma nurse must have the skills and competency to manage airway with the use of basic airway adjuncts.
