Abstract
Addressing the airway in the field of medicine constitutes an essential and complex component, which involves detailed understanding of anatomy and physiology, as well as ethical and legal aspects.
From the intricate structure of the airways to the physiological functions related to breathing and oxygenation, this approach is built on a solid anatomical and physiological foundation. Airway care does not follow a uniform approach, but rather requires adaptability and specialization in various situations. Pediatric care, the peculiarities of patients with obesity, and the necessary responses in emergency situations require specific strategies and specialized knowledge. In this context, the intersection between ethics and legality becomes salient. Respect for patient autonomy, obtaining informed consent and adherence to ethical and legal standards are fundamental pillars that define the integrity and responsibility of the health professional.
