    Any sickness and injury characterized by the failure of important organs and a high risk of life-threatening conditions that necessitate prompt action beginning on the scene to preserve life and minimize morbidity is considered a critical illness. It is becoming more common, and the need for acute care is rising, facing a time-sensitive challenge to the healthcare system. In both prehospital and in-hospital settings, airway resuscitation is the cornerstone for the early care of critically ill patients. In addition to prehospital airway management, interfacility communication and continuity care during ambulance transferring are always demanding substantial tasks for all EMS workers from on the scene to treatment centers, anywhere in the globe. Still, Hypoxic agitation, hypoxic disability, peri intubation arrest, death on arrival, and dead body at arrival are poor clinical outcomes resulting from patients arriving with hypoxia at the ED too late as adversely affect. However, this prehospital insufficient care is being rushed to the ED. Real-time care and pre-arrival contact should be implemented to provide escalation of care according to evolving updated clinical practice for better patient outcomes.
