"We suggest that current guidelines, while purporting to deal with failed oxygenation, in fact deal only with one aspect; establishing a patent upper airway. Although this is obviously essential to achieving adequate oxygenation, a patent airway constitutes only one part of the oxygenation process, which extends from oxygen source to mitochondria. While 'can't intubate' is always an airway problem, 'can't oxygenate' may not be. When we face difficult or impossible oxygenation it is neither true that upper airway loss is the indisputable diagnosis …"
