Talk:Airway management

message: My understanding is that jaw thrust is still an acceptable method of airway control, just not for the lay person. At least that's the accepted teaching in the UK. Anybody have any source for it being totally contraindicated by ILCOR? If not, I'll remove that comment. --John24601 21:23, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's not totally contraindicated. It should be made abundantly clear that lay rescuers are not to use the technique; that it is reserved exclusively for healthcare professionals. Link to ILCOR paper here (Circulation). I'll try to make it clearer in the article. -Mike.lifeguard 00:48, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just tidied up the edit a bit, because it was still a bit how-to, and sounded like POV. Hope you like the revised version Owain.davies 09:23, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

text: * Whilst wikipedia should write for non-experts, I don't think we need to be assuming that when we discuss different techqniques, if we don't explicitly say it then they're going to do it. If we start doing that, we'd have to go to such ridiculous lengths as telling people not to perform a Heart transplant. I like the article as it currently stands (as revised by Owain). --John24601 09:32, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jaw thrust 

message: All: I have no expertise in this field, but I am teaching the class through which Bron came to improve this article. I took a look, and have a few general comments as a lay reader. Hopefully these will be helpful to anyone looking to improve the article:
* The lead section is very short for such a detailed article, may leave the reader wanting a broader overview before diving into the details. I would suggest, at minimum, mentioning the topics that are explored in the later sections. For instance: what are "airway maneuvers" and "
Invasive airway management"? Why are "Removal of vomit and regurgitation", "Airway management in specific situations" significant?
* Related to the first point, the first two sections could use a little introductory prose (either in addition to, or complementing, any summary info added to the lead section).
* There is a proposal to merge artificial airway into this article. It's best to create a section here on the talk page expressing why that merge would be a good idea, and creating the opportunity for others to express why they think the articles should remain separate (if they do). It's best not to take too long on decisions about merges, as it can have a somewhat paralyzing effect on the content; it's easier to expand the article(s) if there is a clear agreement about whether there will be one or two.
* This one may take more research and work than the others, but seems worth mentioning: what is the history of airway management? It seems likely to me that the understanding and techniques of the procedure(s) have evolved over the years. When was the concept first articulated? By whom? How has it evolved and changed? Have established medical societies or peer reviewed journals advocated for significant changes to how it's approached? A "history" section would be a welcome addition to the article.
Overall, it looks like the article has had significant improvement recently. Keep up the good work everyone! -Pete (talk) 17:26, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  A few general comments 

message: Hi. I know these things are usually discussed on the talk page before major changes are done, but I was stricken by the mood and did an overhaul of the article. More specifically; I simplified and reduced it where I could and split the article into basic, advanced and surgical airway management.
While Airway management have lost some information (not much by the way, I more or less just update the language), more or less everything have just been moved to the three fore mentioned articles, although a lot of it have been rewritten to some extend. Thereby making this an overview article.
Please have a look through it and correct what you don´t like. And again; sorry for proposing the split/forking of the article here.
Kind regards JakobSteenberg (talk) 18:50, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
