A large variety of illustrations are presented, including mockups in cadaver specimens, photos of airway management in the clinical setting, simulated airway management scenarios, and photographs of the airway utilizing video laryngoscopes and fiberoptic bronchoscopes."--Jacket Notes Title from title screen (viewed May 21, 2008) Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Issuing Body Digitized and made available online through Books@Ovid Subject Airway (Medicine) -- Atlases Trachea -- Intubation -- Atlases Artificial respiration -- Atlases Trachea -- Intubation.
