The Vortex Approach to Airway Management

This chapter explores the Vortex model as a flexible framework for airway management in emergency situations, emphasizing its role in overcoming cognitive biases and common pitfalls. It discusses the importance of adapting strategies based on real-time challenges rather than adhering to rigid algorithms, prioritizing patient safety through cumulative airway attempts. Through case illustrations, the chapter highlights the need for systematic evaluation and the dynamic nature of decision-making in critical care scenarios.
