Airway integrity refers to the condition and functionality of the airway, ensuring it remains open and unobstructed for effective breathing. It involves the structural and physiological aspects that prevent collapse or blockage, allowing for the proper passage of air to and from the lungs. Maintaining airway integrity is crucial in medical settings, particularly in emergencies or during anesthesia, to ensure adequate oxygenation and ventilation. Any compromise can lead to respiratory distress or failure.
