Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Control of the airway in a major trauma patient may be the most important contributor to survival. The emergency physician must be facile in emergent airway management. Timely recognition of the need to secure an airway, identification of the potentially difficult airway, and an awareness of the resources available (equipment and medications) are necessary.
