Index
"This book is a broad and well-balanced exploration of airway management, including basic sciences, pre-operative evaluation and planning, intra-operative techniques, troubleshooting, postoperative considerations, and macro considerations at a healthcare systems level. This fifth edition book is an update to the previous version, which was published in 2017, and includes new chapters on combination techniques in airway management and human factor considerations in the field. It also offers perspectives from the COVID-19 pandemic and includes new lists of key points that precede each chapter. The print copy comes with an online ebook subscription and numerous videos demonstrating techniques." ©Doody’s Review Service, 2023, Nicholas Cormier, MD (Yale School of Medicine) Doody's Score: 5 Stars!
