The evolution of medical knowledge and technological growth have contributed to the development of different techniques and devices for airway management. These appear to play a role in optimizing the number of attempts and overall success, ultimately reducing the negative consequences of airway manipulation. In this literature review, we highlight the recent evidence regarding new technologies applied to airway management. Before intubation, every patient should have an individualized structured airway management plan. Technology can help with both airway evaluation and tracheal intubation. Point-of-care cervical ultrasound and artificial intelligence models with automated facial analysis have been used to predict difficult airways. Various devices can be used in airway management. This includes a robotic video endoscope that guides intubation based on real image recognition, a laryngeal mask with a non-inflatable cuff that tries to reduce local complications, video laryngeal masks that are able to confirm the correct position and facilitate intubation, Viescope™, a videolaryngoscope developed for combat medicine with a unique circular blade, a system that uses cervical transillumination for glottis identification in difficult airways and Vivasight SL™ tracheal tube, which has a high-resolution camera at its tip guaranteeing visual assurance of tube position as well as guiding bronchial blocker position. To conclude, we detailed the challenges in airway management outside the operating room as well as described suction-assisted laryngoscopy and airway decontamination technique for contaminated airways. Further research in the clinical setting is recommended to better support the use of these technologies
