Abstract

Maintaining the patient's airway in the post anaesthetic stage of the patient's care is a skilful endeavour and all practitioners working in a recovery unit must be familiar with all types of obstruction, the causes and how to treat them. Awareness must also be demonstrated of the airway adjuncts available to maintain a patient's airway.
