Airway triage is a non-profit global patient safety method for assessing a patient's airway to determine the risk of complications during management. It involves a structured approach, using checklists and algorithms, to categorize an airway as either "basic" or "advanced" and to identify potential complexity factors. The goal is to proactively identify risks and plan accordingly to ensure safer airway management.
Key aspects of airway triage
•Risk stratification: It categorizes the likelihood of complications, allowing clinicians to prepare for advanced procedures if necessary.
•Checklists and algorithms: Modern methods, like the Airway Triage Application Method (ATAM), use tools based on checklists and algorithms to systematically assess various factors.
•Identifies complexity factors: It helps find and mitigate risk factors, such as a high body mass index (BMI), airway obstruction, low oxygen saturation, or certain other patient characteristics.
•Differentiates basic vs. advanced: The process helps clearly define when a patient has a basic airway that can likely be managed with standard techniques versus an advanced airway that requires special skills or equipment.
•Considers multiple domains: It evaluates not just patient-specific factors but also human factors, the surgical procedure, available equipment, and time pressure.
•Aims to prevent unanticipated events: By performing a thorough assessment beforehand, it helps prevent the sudden increase in workload and cognitive overload that can happen during unanticipated challenging airway situations.
•Mobile application: Tools like the Airway Triage App are available for smartphones to assist clinicians in performing the assessment quickly and efficiently.

The longest day of 2024 is coming to a close as an almost full moon is rising. (June 20)
Dust in the air made for hazy viewing of the canyon today, the first day of summer.
The dust is from yesterday's haboob, a massive wall of a dust storm that rolled through southern New Mexico.
