Excerpt

Airway monitoring, as part of a comprehensive physical examination, evaluates a patient's ventilation and gas exchange capacity. This assessment includes examining the airway's condition and interpreting data from adjunct monitors. Although vital for patient care, caution is necessary while analyzing monitor data due to inherent limitations. This review explores various airway monitoring techniques, their functions, and limitations.
