In this issue of Emergency Medicine linics, guest editors Drs. Haney Mallemat and Terren Trott bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Respiratory and Airway Emergencies. Respiratory emergencies may range from “shortness of breath,” or dyspnea, to complete respiratory arrest, or apnea, in which the patient is no longer breathing. In this issue, top experts in the field address topics such as pulmonary hypertension; COPD and asthma; pulmonary embolism; special procedures; procedures for the challenging airway; physiologically difficult intubation; and more.
