Synopsis

This full-color atlas is a step-by-step pictorial guide to both routine and advanced airway management techniques. More than 300 photographs depict the tools involved; the placement of the tools in relation to anatomy in cadaver specimens; and the devices in use in various clinical scenarios. Succinct text summarizes the steps of each technique, the evidence supporting the technique, and the indications, contraindications, complications, practicality, and cost. Major sections demonstrate techniques for endotracheal intubation when direct laryngoscopy is difficult. These include adjuncts to direct laryngoscopy, blind intubation, light-guided intubation, retrograde intubation, fiberoptic techniques, emergency ventilation, combination techniques, and emergency surgical airways.

Review:

Doody's Book Review Service, David B. Glick, MD, MBA, University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine -- "This is a comprehensive collection of well illustrated techniques for both common and uncommon approaches to airway management...A book of this sort is an extremely useful tool for anyone learning or teaching the gamut of techniques now available for controlling a patient's airway. The author successfully achieves his aim with brief, clearly worded explanations/directions and excellent cadaveric, radiologic, and bronchoscopic images...This is an excellent resource for learning or teaching about airway management. It provides the broadest coverage of the topic I have come across, and the illustrations are excellent."-Doody's Book Review Service (Weighted Numerical Score: 90, 4 Stars)
