ABSTRACT

Anatomy and physiology knowledge of the airway is important for the initial care of the patient with systemic decompensations. The present review aims to mention the most important features of upper and lower airway, dismembering each of the constituent organs and their role in the functioning of the respiratory system, its relevance in the process of airway emergency and its importance for handling advanced airway. The second part evaluates physiological variables that allow ventilation and respiration as a functional element of the human body, showing relevant aspects of the processes of diffusion of gas, ventilation-perfusion distribution, vascular tone and lung volumes. Knowledge of anatomy and physiology is the complement to the initial handling by staff trained in airway management.
