Proficiency in airway management is a fundamental competence of every emergency physician. However, the scenario and patient conditions are often not ideal, increasing the procedural risk. The development of an airway bundle, including an airway trolley with separate drawers, an airway approach plans organized by colors and steps, a checklist and cognitive aids, aims to reduce the morbidity and mortality of the procedure in a scenario where anatomical, physiological and psychological factors tend to cause more difficulties than any other place in the hospital.
