Basic interventions provide the foundation of airway care for each patient and are the safety net when advanced airway interventions are unsuccessful. Basic airway management may be the preferred technique when the time and the risks associated with performing advanced airway maneuvers outweigh the benefits of a secure airway. For example, if caring for a severely injured patient, basic airway management may be preferable when the transport time to the hospital is short or when other interventions take priority (e.g., management of massive hemorrhage or tension pneumothorax). Another example is pediatric respiratory arrest, when most EMS clinicians are more comfortable and more facile with bag‐valve‐mask ventilation than with pediatric endotracheal intubation.
