The two basics for life are respiration and blood circulation. There are various diseases and emergencies that can endanger the respiratory tract and it is extremely important to recognize them early and eliminate the cause in time so that the breathing process can proceed smoothly. Respiratory care is the first care in a series of procedures that are critical for patient's survival. When caring for patients in an outpatient emergency department, time is always crucial and therefore certain protocols and guidelines should always be followed. The approach used when arriving at an emergency patient is the ABCDE approach. In work focus is on the application of various care techniques depending on the factors that cause airway obstruction and the possibility of application in relation to the patient's condition. Ways to take care of the airway in an outpatient emergency department range from the simplest such as tilting the head to using various aids such as supraglottic aids and tubes. In the Teaching Institute for Emergency Medicine of the County of Istria (NZHMIŽ) during 2019 and 2020, the Oropharyngeal Tube method was used most frequently, while the Laryngeal Mask method was the least used.
