An essential guide to airway management for trainee anaesthetists and intensivists, operating department practitioners and anaesthetic/theatre nurses. Emphasis is given to the basics of airway assessment, how to handle vital emergency procedures and the difficult airway.

Competent airway management is a vital skill: inability to handle the airway can lead at best to abandoning the case, and at worst to death. This book is an essential guide to airway management for trainee anaesthetists and intensivists, operating department practitioners and anaesthetic/theatre nurses. It is designed to be non-intimidating, and to cover the necessary essentials in such a way as to be easily accessible and readily understood by the new trainee or busy nurse without the time to look through large textbooks. Emphasis is given to the basics of airway assessment, how to handle vital emergency procedures and the difficult airway - all situations which will be familiar in any hospital.
