Purpose of review: Emergency airway management is populated by many new concepts, evolving equipment, and contemporary strategies for optimal procedural success. This review aims to discuss various topics within these realms and to continue the ongoing conversation regarding improvement of emergency airway management.
Recent findings: Various literature, opinion pieces, podcasts, and trials have prompted renewed interest in the field of emergency airway management. Though common threads can be found, there is significant debate on optimal practice. Accompanying these conversations is continuous production of new equipment which can be beneficial to providers. However, this ongoing accumulation of material, data, and pathways can create challenges in remaining up to date. Rather than a comprehensive review of current literature and discussion of research findings, this article aims to discuss selected and impactful concepts in real time context and provide potentially immediate additions to emergency airway manager practice.
Summary: As emergency airway management evolves, it remains a significant task to maintain up to date on current trends, data, and new equipment. This article aims to discuss several of these items in a digestible fashion and provide immediate impact for emergency airway providers.

Purpose of review: Endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke secondary to large vessel occlusion (LVO) is time-dependent. Prehospital patients with suspected LVO stroke should be triaged directly to specialized stroke centers for endovascular therapy. This review describes advances in LVO detection among prehospital suspected stroke patients.
Recent findings: Clinical prehospital stroke severity tools have been validated in the prehospital setting. Devices including EEG, SSEPs, TCD, cranial accelerometry, and volumetric impedance phase-shift-spectroscopy have recently published data regarding LVO detection in hospital settings. Mobile stroke units bring thrombolysis and vessel imaging to patients.
Summary: The use of a prehospital stroke severity tool for LVO triage is now widely supported. Ease of use should be prioritized as there are no meaningful differences in diagnostic performance amongst tools. LVO diagnostic devices are promising, but none have been validated in the prehospital setting. Mobile stroke units improve patient outcomes and cost-effectiveness analyses are underway.
