A secure airway is an important step in the reanimation process of patients in cardiac arrest and other conditions that disrupt the proper oxygenation, ventilation and circulation. Loss of consciousness and hypotonia of the oropharyngeal musculature leads to the obstruction of airway. The initial release procedures are performed before any advanced intervention. Those procedures include simple movements of tilting the head back and lifting the jaw in all situations except when the cervical spine injury is suspected. In this case, the right move is immobilization of the head and neck with the lifting of the jaw. The next step is the use of advanced aids designed for securing the airway. The most efficient method is endotracheal intubation. However, using this method of airway management depends on the training of the doctor and the patient's condition. However, when the endotracheal intubation is impossible or unsuccessful, there are other useful and efficient aids called supraglottic aids. They can be connected to the self-expanding balloon the same way the endotracheal tube. These aids provide appropriate ventilation and oxygenation of the patient. I-gel is the most commonly used device due to it's simple use. Other devices that are used are laryngeal mask, laryngeal tube and combi tube. All these devices are purposeful but it is important to monitor the parameters of ventilation through the resuscitation procedure in order to ensure their proper use. As resuscitation is dramatic and complicated procedure, some complications may occur. The most common complications include soft tissue injuries followed by teeth injuries during direct laryngoscopy. Teeth injuries are still common and they occur in less experienced physicians. With the wide variety of airway aids available, there is no consensus as to which device should be used. This solely depends on the experience and skills of the doctor in charge of resuscitation process. It is quite important being educated on the latest airway management possibilities with the goal of being able to provide the best possible care for the patients during resuscitation and in post-resuscitation care
