Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Purpose of Review: The article reviews the epidemiology of airway injuries, airway anatomy, techniques for airway management, helpful pharmacologic adjuncts and finally alternatives to airway manipulation. Recent Findings: Principles of airway management including the maintenance of spontaneous ventilation and careful and adequate preparation for an alternative plan will always be important. Advances in pharmacologic agents provide a safer, more controlled environment through which the patient's compromised airway can be controlled. Recent publications add to the evidence that alternative methods of oxygenation and ventilation such as cardiopulmonary bypass can be used successfully to treat patients with catastrophic airway injuries. Summary: Trauma to the airway, either blunt or penetrating or iatrogenic, can result in significant patient morbidity and mortality. Although, relatively rare, if we practice long enough, each of us will encounter such a patient. The anesthesiologist must be familiar with airway anatomy and the location of injury for successful treatment. Along with airway injuries, associated injuries are common and often complicate definitive airway treatment. Modern anesthetic medications such as dexmedetomidine and proven techniques such as awake fiberoptic intubation can be used to safely treat these difficult patients. Alternative therapies such as cricothyroidotomy and cardiopulmonary bypass should be available if first-line therapies fail to secure an injured airway. © 2010 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
