Resumen

El manejo de la vía aérea (MVA) debe ser prioridad en el cuidado de pacientes críticos, las intervenciones en vía aérea tienen como finalidad asegurarla o controlar la ventilación ademas de evitar complicaciones.1,2,3

La evaluación de vía aérea (EVA) previa es un prerrequisito, con el fin de determinar la dificultad de la maniobra, los posibles riesgos y complicaciones a las que se ve enfrentado el médico y el paciente.4,5,6,7

Surgen interrogantes con respecto a la EVA como parte del MVA en las unidades de cuidado intensivo, como los siguientes: ¿Con qué frecuencia realizamos esta evaluación?, ¿es nuestra evaluación completa y adecuada?, si es así, ¿con qué certeza podemos afirmar que la evaluación nos puede dar información cierta? y ¿qué tan confiados podemos sentirnos a la hora de intubar nuestro paciente?

El siguiente texto tiene como finalidad discutir la importancia de las actitudes adecuadas y los procesos a seguir previos al MVA en el paciente crítico.

Palabras claves:
Vía aérea
evaluación en paciente crítico
control de la ventilación
Summary

Airway management (MVA) must be priority in the care of critical patients. Airway intervention is needed to assure or control the ventilation.1,2 The Airway evaluation (EVA) is a requirement, with the purpose of determining the difficulty of the orotraqueal intubation maneuver, the possible risks and complications for the physician and the patient.4,5,6,7 There is some questions with respect to EVA like part of the MVA in the intensive care units; ¿how frequently we made this evaluation?, ¿Is it a complete and suitable evaluation?, if it is thus, ¿how certain could we affirm that the evaluation can give true information to us? and ¿how trusted can we feel at the time of patient intubation? The following text has the purpose of discuss the importance of suitable attitudes and the processes to follow previously to the MVA in the critical patient.
