Atlas of Airway Management: Techniques and Tools

Clinical applications in airway management are dependent on both the anatomy of the individual, and the individual's co-
morbidities, with different tools available for different patient presentations. The first edition of this atlas
presented the most commonly used tools via clinical photos, and demonstrated proper and improper positioning with
photos utilizing cross-sectional cadaver anatomy so the relevant anatomy in relation to the equipment could be clearly
seen. The second edition presents an improved and enlarged text. New sections have been created on pediatric
applications, bronchoscopy, special airway considerations in the emergency room and the ICU, and post-intubation care
issues. There are also new chapters on airway management for patients with obstructive sleep apnea and morbid obesity,
as well as a new chapter on airway issues for gynecologic patients. A new section exists for surgical situations
requiring specialized airway management. The second edition comes with a website that includes instructional videos and
the fully searchable contents of the book.
