Summary

"Atlas of Airway Management: Techniques and Tools is designed to assist those learning to manage the airway. This text explores everything from understanding the basics and mask ventilation, to comprehending alternative techniques for situations in which direct laryngoscopy is difficult, or cannot be utilized." "This is an atlas, and therefore text is kept to a minimum, while illustrations are utilized extensively to provide visual understanding of concepts. A large variety of illustrations are presented, including mockups in cadaver specimens, photos of airway management in the clinical setting, simulated airway management scenarios, and photographs of the airway utilizing video laryngoscopes and fiberoptic bronchoscopes."--BOOK JACKET.
